Did Google give you the knock out punch?

By admin | July 27, 2008

Google’s July 25, 2008 Toolbar update has landed some bloggers on the mat. Marc Galeazzi who paid $10,000.00 several months ago for a PR 4 blog, “Onemansgoal,” got the knock out punch from Google. His PR dropped to 0, ouch! His other website, “Relaxationtips.org” a PR 4 blog that he also purchased also got dropped to a 0. Galeazzi is not alone. Google has in the past penalized buyers who have purchased expired domains that were PR 5’s and 6’s for example, and reset them to 0. Is Google now resetting domains that simply transfer ownership? One other note, Matt Cutts announced a few days ago that, “I’m expecting that also in the next few days that we’ll be expiring some older penalties on websites.”

    Lucky enough and never got any knock out punch from google since I believe in white hat and google keywords suggestions with google webmaster analysis for my sites but this never meant that google would allow me to put together some duplicate contents and multiply deployed same old ideas in my contextual contents with rewritten stuff. so far I think problems occur when we outsource our things to other hands especially with Indian people who simply do black hat and satisfy you with SERP current time results while google tolerate you meanwhile for the same but it is not a sleeping anymore…..update is google’s update that knock outs such snobbery of information age and you see flat on the mat and rubbing your nose in dust :)

    Have faith in yourself and avoid to make fool search engines.

    best,

    It comes back after a while. If the links are still there, it will come back after 6-12 months. For instance I bought a PR4 domain with over 2,000 incoming links. I put my site on there and left it alone. It was PR1 after the next update, and the following one after that. Then the next update it went to PR3, and I hadn’t touched a thing.

    So, it’s not a permanent ban. You just have to be patient. Of course buying for PR is rather silly. Buying for incoming links makes sense as long as you take a long term view.

    I agree, Google certainly has the power to knock you out. Does anyone have info on how google comes up with the page rank?

    According to Google, “PageRank Technology: PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.

    PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. We have always taken a pragmatic approach to help improve search quality and create useful products, and our technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page’s importance.”
