I dont care about pr either anymore. SERP results makes more sense.

Hi forcer, i am completely agree with you why would you care about Pagerank if you don’t want to sell links? One should care about rankings not about PR unless you want to sell links.

We knew companies wich selling links and their PR go down rapidly. From PR 6 to PR 0. That is destiny of selling links. On the net is really full ell of linking farm, generators of links atc.

I’m not sure how Google determines what a paid link is but it’s been said that SERPS are what counts and that is 100% bang on the money. I’ve said it before page rank does not pay the bills. Just for the record we had sites go down and sites go up.

After update we get only PR2 but we are still in SERP in first positions. If we get PR4 is it something change in SERP? Are Google calcualting PR4 in SERP?

I had a lot of sites jump in PR, and a couple fall, yet all the rankings stayed the same or improved.

Stop jocking the PR bar go have a drink. It’s Friday for god’s sake.

Frankly I don’t particularly care about PR anymore. I don’t sell links anyway. But, apparently Google thinks I do and dropped my PR a notch. I posted my experience on my blog. Let’s see, the all powerful Google is now chasing ghost link selling…

Loren, it’s almost clear that the websites that are involved in selling links are effected from this PR update (so called Google’s Crackdown against high Pr websites), and some of the websites like copyblogger, problogger and youtube that were effected mistakenly were recovered later but what is your openion regarding the websites that are involved in placing their links on their industry relevant websites?

I’m very confused, because at one end Google is suggesting webmasters in their webmaster guidelines to:

– Have other relevant sites link to yours.
– Submit your site to relevant directories such as the Open Directory Project and Yahoo!, as well as to other industry-specific expert sites.

Do you think that anyone can get a quality link for free for their website? 2ndly Yahoo!, business.com and lot more… charges heavy amount to place a link in their directory, so considering this factor their PR shall be drop from 7 to 0 because they are officialy selling links.

Crackdown against the websites offering irrelevant paid links make sense but………..

anyways, please share your thoughts on buying links….
