Why the Recent Google Pagerank Bitch Slap Was Just a Warning of Things to Come
As you probably know, the recent Google Toolbar pagerank update showed that many prominent websites have lost their visible pagerank. But this is only the beginning and here’s why.
None of the websites or blogs witnessed any loss in traffic from Google. This means that their real pagerank is still there; it has not been penalized.
It’s only the green bar that now shows fewer green pixels.
Darren Rowse, in this update, has found out that Google has been after the paid links; Google wants to prevent buying and selling links based on the pagerank of the website.
Are we supposed to believe that this is all?
That Google just removed some of the green pixels on the Toolbar, even though you may have gotten high rankings in Google, for violating their webmaster guidelines about link schemes?
