It must be a penalty of some sort. The only thing I ca think of in my case is having all links coming from the same IP range.
I think this is correct as I have read some people losing a hell of a lot of backlinks, which I only presume can be because internal links are being dismissed aswell as interlinking between their second sites.
I have sites at a range of PRs, and nothing changed on any of them, even though backlinks increased, so the swer would be no
Several of my sites went down in PR for the url without the www. and remained normal for the url with the www. (I updated all internal links to www. a month ago) BL's changed a lot for most domains. Some up, others down.
Just noticed that on the toolbar, even though my PR has gone from 4 to 0, my Links page is showing a PR3, and every other page is PR0. Then, in the Directory it shows my site with a PR4 still. Which would be correct? And, why would one page keep a PR and the others not?
A friend saw a page somebody was trying to sell him a PR7 link off of turn to a PR6 between morning and evening
Googledigob is the answer... With the IPO shenanigans they have taken their focus off relevancy, consistancy and reliability it seems to me. Hope they get over it soon!
I concur, TOPS30! It must be like kids anticipating Christmas day, around Google right now. I imagine that not many are being very productive. I too would be quite distracted right now if I knew I was about to come into a wind fall $. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
All my sites up +1 from PR6 -> PR7 , from PR5 -> PR6. It happens every update +1 in PR and plus thousands backlinks (+12,000 for my www.bdbd.ru SEO Services Agency site) Traffic changed from 20,000 users per day to 25,000 per day for www.gameguru.ru and it's rated #1 in Google Directory
even with 260,000 bl on yahoo http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=linkdomain%3Awww.bdbd.ru&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-web-t&n=20&fl=0&x=wrt
I looked for PR in Google Directory: http://directory.google.com/Top/World/Russian/Игры/Компьютерные_игры/?il=1
i have a good feeling of a pr update over the late weekend, just a feeling in my water... but could just be kidney stones lol also noticed the cache dates jumping from old ones back to recent ones like a yoyo, so something in the air soon i think :d
Perhaps. Last night googlebot came by and did a full crawl of a site...fetching some files upto 3 times! Another site was fully crawled too at the same time....
on another board I already guessed september 2nd, so I wont change it. so either sep 2nd or I say they drop the whole PR thing
