There are no major update yet for Google Pagerank, but some other blogger had spotted a major downgraded for some major blogs like Problogger, Engadget and Copyblogger. And for some reason, Andy Beard explained that it mostly got penalized were either selling links or exchanging them inside large blog networks.

In my opinion, the PR downgraded doesn’t affect too much if you had good daily visitors and trusted brand. Since the suspected reason for a lot major site being Google Slapped is selling paid links, I don’t see any reason for the cause.It’s maybe because of re-adjustment of the PR value in the toolbar. But remember, the PR in the toolbar and Real time PR value at Google Datacenter’s is not same in value. And what you see at the toolbar is a 3-month old PR(or more) and that surely can’t be treated as indicator to make money online.

And what happen is, many Ads companies use it as a major factor to get more value for your site in term of money and all they had is, get money from us, using Google pagerank lack of ability as one of their major indicator to rank websites and blogs.

This is a major issue that many of us doesn’t see thoroughly. It’s seem that ads by impression or monthly ads subscription at the sidebar could barely win the situation and for mostly, get better exposure and ROI rather than text link that could affect badly.

Since, I don’t bother with my PR anymore, I sincerely doesn’t look at it too much. I don’t value content, blogs or sites, and people with PR. I value it with what they write, and it’s all about producing good content.
