The Blog PR Fallout
Who hasn’t suffered from the latest Google PageRank fallout? Blogs, especially those which accept paid advertising, have suffered a huge hit in PageRank in the latest update. In some cases, blogs have fallen from PR 7 ro PR 3 in a matter of days. I even know of one blog, Hoto’s Business Spot, which went from PR 0 to PR 4 only to go back to PR 2 and PR 0 in a matter of weeks! What’s up with that? All my blogs, including this one, fell down to PR 1 with the last update, even though I have up to 4000 inbound links. That’s just plain wrong. Good thing Google PageRank is becoming less and less important.

My blog MomReviews went from PR0 up to PR2 for about two weeks, then back down to 0. I can’t wait for RealRank!

I remember when Google actually gave good results for a search. Now they’ve become the biggest terrorists on the internet. My blog www.castlenottingham.com went from a pr 4 to a 2 to 0 and www.ravensbarrow.com from a 0 to 2 then back to 0 in the last month. What a bunch of friggin Nazi idiots. A couple of years ago I was booted from Adsense for clicking my own links. No appeal available or examples of my transgressions which may or may not have happened when someone on my home pc might have clicked a link. I plan to move all my email off Google and never click another Adsense link or use their search again. I hope they take a serious dive.

Pagerank isn’t as important as page age, total link number, anchor text and how well the content lines up. That is why you see PR 2 sometimes outbeat most PR 5 pages even on competitive words.

Is Page Rank Reliable?

My blog crowdwisdom.de fell from PR 5 to PR 0 due to the fact that I experimented with paid link ads a couple of days prior… doesn’t matter much though, I get traffic mostly from recommendations and RSS.
