I have done nothing with my website in terms of selling links, and, as far as I know, nothing nefarious in terms of anything on the “dark side” of SEO practices. Content in my articles section, accept for a few ezine articles, is written by me, so dupe content is not an issue.

Maybe there is something in terms of links pointing to me that might have devalued my site from a PR4 to a PR 3, but, I have yet to understand what, if anything that may be.

Basically, I am stumped. The site is five years old to boot! I could understand “slapping” me if I have sinned, but, I just dont’ know what those particular sins are.

I’ve been looking at many forums and it seems that those who got new unpaid incoming backlinks have also dropped in PR. There seems to be a vibe that many sites have dropped more than increased in PR. I’ve also come across many folks whose homepage has dropped in PR and now deep pages have an even higher PR.

Gawd, mine had gone to N/A too, I hate the fact that they have to reduce our PR’s just because we monetize our blogs. What’s the catch anyway? They do the same thing, too I guess on their ‘other’ websites perhaps. Damnn, it makes me go all crazy. –,

I for one, don’t really care about the page rank crunch. I’m not concerned about this at all. Google’s not everything in this World! There are other notable services also!

If a web site relies soley on Google/Yahoo/etc page rank, they have only got themselves to blame when the “rules” change… because, if for no other reason they must be stupid to put all their eggs in one basket.

Dropping from PR6 to PR4 is a very hard hit. In my opinion Google is hitting blogs harder since they are the ones that sell links and are in a sense causing a lot of the spamming currently going around on the net. Many high profile blogs have been hit so yours is definitely not the only one.

Hey, I’m not sure this PR update is over yet… perhaps its going to happen in phases?

Here’s my observation: my site went from PR3 to PR4 so far. After the last PR update, it only had 3 inbound links per google.

However since July, it now has hundreds inbound to the home page and at least 30K inbound to
secondary pages.

As of last night, the google number of inbound links reported by google webmaster tools is: ZERO.

That’s right, 0. So, I’m wondering if the first dance phase perhaps involved some calculations excluding links… to be followed by a second phase that will deal with link counts??

I’d love to compare notes with anyone on this – is anyone else seeing their google inbound count go to zero?

Fantomaster-

If PR is “fools gold” then by what mark are blogs and online media supposed to use as an indicator of their advertising value?

All of us are still guessing as to who was penalized and why. And if Google is just trying to keep us out of the loop, they’re doing a great job.

A difficult market just became more uncertain. And even established web publishing companies aren’t doing so hot (though not by Google’s fault). I was rather depressed by this article, pointing to how unprofitable web publishing really can be. And these are the big players.

This is like the housing market or something…waiting it out for the boom times to return.

I, for one, am glad this change occurred. I’m also kind of tired of hearing about it. In a few weeks, I fully expect to see some SERPs research and how these changes affected them.

I know of a few sites that aren’t part of a network but also suffered a nice drop, so there goes that theory.

It’s a full-on update.
