Google Page Rank Update - Is it real or fake?
Written on March 1, 2008 – 2:08 am | by admin
Just few minutes ago I find out the my blog has lost its pagerank from PR4 to PR0 .. bad news for me I think. I search the entire internet and also find out the similar trends for other websites/blogs. Even SEOroundtable has experience major decrese from PR 7 to PR4! I found some list of major wrebsites/blogs that suffer this terrible changes.
here’s some list:
- http://www.washingtonpost.com/ PR7 to PR5
- http://www.forbes.com/ PR7 to PR5
- http://www.suntimes.com/ PR7 to PR5
- http://www.sfgate.com/ PR7 to PR5
- http://www.statcounter.com/ PR10 to PR6
- http://www.masternewmedia.org/ PR7 to PR4
- http://www.autoblog.com/ PR6 to PR4

Some say that this update is targeted on website that buy paid links and use unnatural technique for building backlinks. I myself still cannot find the reason why my blog has also suffered from this changes recalling that I had never used paid links until now.
here’s google guide related to the backlink building:
“Don’t participate in link schemes designed to increase your site’s ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or “bad neighborhoods” on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.”So.. I hope this change would not affect me so much and the show must go on!

I hear ya man! I dropped from PR 3 to PR 2. I know it’s not as big of a drop, but I was very upset to see that they changed the whole algorithm.
