I Think Google Bitch Slapped Me
Posted on February 10th, 2008 by IBabel under SEOAfter the first PR update this blog endured, it was PR2. I then did a few sponsored reviews and a PayPerPost post. The next update this blog then went to PR0!
I think Google may of bitch slapped me for that PayPerPost review.
I don’t care though, PR doesn’t bother me as much as most. It’s nice to have a high PR but it’s not essential to me. What’s more important to me is SERPs, viral buzz, general awareness and credibility within the given niche.
I’m hopefully going to build that over time with this blog. I hope I’ve built some sort of credibility already but it takes a long time to gain all round respect and awareness, especially in the Internet marketing niche.
I should have a good PR though given relevant mention within this niche. I’ve got quality backlinks ranging from PR2 - PR6, all genuine, non-payed, quality backlinks to inbound pages ranging back way last year.
I have also read elsewhere that Google have gone after PayPerPost, so they must have set my PR back to zero as people are suggesting they are doing. Personally I just think that’s stubborn and petty. It’s like they don’t want anyone else to make money.
If a blogger tries to earn some cash, they bitch slap em, if an Adsense publisher makes too much they say they’re cheating. They can have sponsored links but we can’t?
I don’t care though. Up yours Google, you evil people. Lol

Most of us that were Google slapped thought it’s unfair, I’m a lame excuse for Google saying they want to eliminate sponsored link insertions because it jeopardize the quality of search results. But isn’t Google having sponsored search. Try Googling and the first few hits are paid links. Hahaha! So lame, so lame…

Exactly. They are hypocrits. They want us to all dance to their tune.

Yeah, it’s like a do or die. Dance to our tune, or lose your PR.
OMG YOUR USING YAHOO ads, therefore you must lose PR.
