Connected Internet Drops 3 Belt Sizes to Page Rank 3
I’ve finally made it! For the last couple of days I’ve strangely been a bit disappointed that my Page Rank hadn’t been reduced. Didn’t Google care about me I thought?
It seems that Google does love me after all, and my Page Rank has just fallen from PR6 to PR3. I’m guessing that the delay was because the US sites were updated first, and now Google is turning its evil eye to Europe.
Well, at least I’ll be drowning my ’sorrows’ this weekend in good company and toasting Google’s good health. It took me 1 month to get a PR4, a few more to get a PR5 and about 18 months to get a PR6. All gone in 24 hours….cheers Google!!!
If anyone is wondering what I intend to do now….well, nothing. I don’t see the point of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. I’m also very stubborn and I refuse to be dictated to, so I’m just going to get on with it and remember that I used to be happy blogging just for fun with only my mum reading my site!

The site I use to post here dropped from a PR4 to a PR1 on my home page. Most subpages are a PR2, and my portfolio is a PR3 so I am baffled. I have no clue whats going on, my SERPs are still the same. I dont buy or sell links. Its a site for my web design company so I have no clue whats going on. Most of my backlinks are from directories, natural, or from blogging on related topics. I havent seen anyone with such a weird result from this update than my site. Anyone care to guess?

Problogger went back up to PR6 and it looks like JohnChow is only going to drop to PR5. You know how much Johnchow promotes/uses TLA, so I wouldn’t be that worried about it. According to Alexa, his traffic may have spiked a little bit even.

Well it looks like that finally, Google trained its main guns on text link ads. Their site is registering PR 0 or PR N/A at http://www.digpagerank.com.
Googling ‘textlinkads.com’ or ‘text-link-ads.com’ also yields no results on the search engine.
This is tantamount to being deindexed. Guys-> strip TLA from your sites now!

Well, as long you don’t rely on selling links through PR, it doesn’t matter to you. I think that Google is just warning everyone who encourages link building and has some influence.
You do have influence on the web according to your Alexa 17,802 (at the moment of this writing) and you do encourage link buying and selling since you have Text Link Ads and TNX ads displayed on your sidebar.
By the way, my 3 month old blog finally got pagerank and is now 4! What do I care, I’ll never sell links anyway.

I like your spirit Everton. Keep up the positive attitude. To see it all go in 24 hours is not easy.

Everton don’t worry, mine went up from 3 to 5 again today. It does look pretty random to me

Its all weird. I got PR4 and I have launched my site like 2 months ago.

I think many sites dropping pr, luckly my all websites increased by average 1, some them directly increased by +3 including subpages. The magic is writing unique content and displaying no ads, lool first one is good idea but second is painful
