    Congrats Sublime Directory. That is quite a jump. I would advise to go slow and steady for awhile on the link gathering. You don't want to follow in Bluefind's foot steps.

    Didn't see any change on my main page in PR, but a lot of the internal pages went up, usually from 0 to 3

    In January, most of their listings stopped being indexed in Google. I believe the consensus was that they had purchased too many links too fast. They were a PR8 but we know now that Google penalizes sites with an unnatural link growth pattern.

    What, exactly, is an unnatural link growth pattern? And how do you avoid it?

    It appears that Google keeps a history of links, when they first appeared and their link text. They would have some sort of stats on what is normal link growth and would probably discount the value of your links if they exceed the norms by too much. There is more...

    You should be fine if you don't get too aggressive with link exchanging and link purchasing.

    Great. That means you have to guess what Google decides is the norm for link increasing rates. If anyone has any data on that, it would be appreciated.

    It seems after a long anticipated Google Pagerank Update, http://www.UncoverTheNet.com has risen to a PR8 web presence....

    0 ---> 7 ----> 8

    This is substantial news.

    Considering the fact that the most popular web directory in the world, DMOZ.com, a Netscape Project is a PR8 - this news is of epic proportion!

    It should be recognized by the entire search community IMO.
