Seriously. Is Google still slapping bloggers around or what?
One of my few remaining main blogs that had PR after the last Google slap just lost PR today. It’s down to a big fat zero.
Why?
I’ve slowed down on posting on all my sites quite a bit over the last few months – in part due to our new puppy (very sick for first month with us) – and if there was anything wrong with what I was doing in the past there really shouldn’t be anything wrong now. My sites are all cleaned up – free of any badges that it seems the big G doesn’t like anymore or perhaps never liked because those companies must have threatened Google’s Adsense biz.
I think this whole thing is ridiculous. I mean Google is selectively penalizing certain bloggers while exempting “A” list bloggers from their slap. Is there really something terribly wrong with making some money writing about sites or products that you would have written about anyway? No. I don’t think so.
Not that I’ve done many posts on this site in the last few months, but I can say that there hasn’t been a pa1d review on this site for 3+ months.
