Google Updates Pagerank, Shocks Many Leading Publishers
Google is definitely upto something here. A Major Pagerank update has been dished out and a lot of popular blogs have been hit the hardest with the update losing quite a bit of Pagerank in the process.. General theory is that the drop in Pagerank is due to sale of Text Links on these sites, but I don’t think that is the reason for all this.
Take for example Problogger which was PR6 and now its PR4 or take Copyblogger which was also PR6 and now is PR4. Both of these sites do no indulge in Text Link Ads as far I know, so the exact reason for the drop is not known. Well I have built up my own logic for all this but before I tell you about that here are a few popular sites that have lost Pagerank.
- Engadget (from 7 to 5)
- AutoBlog (from 6 to 4)
- Problogger (from 6 to 4)
- Copyblogger (from 6 to 4)
- Search Engine Journal (from 7 to 4)
- Quick Online Tips (from 6 to 3)
