Google Drops PageRank For Many Websites

Looks like I am the only blogger who hasn’t talked about the latest PageRank update so far. So here goes…there were two batches of PageRank drop – in the first some sites like JohnChow.com, Entrepreneurs-Journey.com and this blog itself (from PR 6 to 5) that were selling text links were hit.

The second batch took place yesterday and I came to know from DailyBlogTips that this blog’s PR had dropped again from 5 to 4 this time. Many blogs were hit in the second batch including popular ones like Engadget, Problogger, Copyblogger, John Chow, QuickOnlineTips and Weblog Tools Collection!

Though many sites were hit, I still do see a few blogs selling text links that were not hit (like LiewCF.com) and the confusing part is some blogs that were not selling text links were hit too, so can selling text links be the reason behind these PR drops or is Google changing their PageRank algorithm?

Anyways before a third PR drop batch comes and drops my PR again to maybe 1 or 0, I have decided to remove my text link ads! I will be removing Text Link Ads by the end of this month and use nofollow for the other ads.

Did your blog get a PageRank drop too?
