Google PageRank update!

The Googlebot remains one of my favourite search engine bots yet. Simply take a look at your Google Toolbar (if you have it installed) for the PageRank of this site. It’s PageRank 2 now, while it was PageRank 1 yesterday.

Similar changes are occurring all over the web, as Google makes another one of its PageRank updates. This site talks about MAJOR sites, like Forbes, dropping in PageRank.

Why is that? Well, many are theorizing that it’s due to Google’s recent announcement about how paid links would be penalized. The site linked in the previous paragraph has a list of major sites with PageRank 7 or so, dropping to PR 5 or lower. All of them had paid links.

Due to this, Geekie.org and FreddyWare Administration will need to make some serious SEO choices for our sites, including the elimination and prohibition of paid links. We are in that discussion right now.

It’s good for FreddyWare overall, however. Many pages across our network have increased in PageRank to 1 from 0, and our StudyNucleus branch has been awarded PageRank 1, after only a few months on the Internet. Good job!

I posted here how Matt is just spreading FUD: http://www.techsoapbox.com/link-fud-and-logical-fallacies/

At the same time - I’m glad you like our Blog Flux Pagerank Checker (right above your skyscraper adsense). At the same time, we do require you link it back to the website - so please be sure to update that :)

Thanks.
