Google Page Rank
Jan 7th, 2008 by Amanda
Does anyone have any ideas about why my PR would suddenly go from 4 to 0?
*sigh* Update: Apparantly “Google went around bitchslapping a lot of blogs that contained paid links and/or sponsored posts.”
Guess that’s that then.
I knew that Google did 2 “corrections” back in late fall, but I wasn’t aware of a recent one.
They do not like paid links because it’s a direct competition with AdSense, it pays better, and most paid links are trying to “game the system” when it comes to Google’s ranking system and returning relevant information from searches.
You can always go in through Google’s webmaster site and ask them why they changed your rank and see if you can get your PR back.
