Google PR Update Started! Sites Selling Links Receive a Major Blow!
Seems like a Google PR update is going on, but this one is mainly targeting sites that are obviously selling keyword rich links, there are some major sites seeing a big drop in their PR, I’ve noticed it this morning when visiting Tyler’s blog and saw that it dropped to PR3 from PR5, this is happening to lots of other websites such as:
- http://www.searchengineguide.com/ PR7 -> PR4
- http://www.searchenginejournal.com/ PR7 -> PR4
And many more, looks like Google is serious about stopping websites from selling links and they are definitly generating the kind of buzz after this update that would stop allot of websites from selling links, at least the big ones that are easily noticed for selling links, problogger.net and Johnchow.com also saw a PR decrease.
There is a thread on DigitalPoint discussing this new PR update, allot of websites are seeing the effect while others haven’t been effected yet, the PR update is still going on so stay on look out.
In an earlier post I mentioned that Danny Sullivan confirmed that selling links may harm your PR, which apparently he was right about, so we shouldn’t be too surprised about this.
