Dave "theGypsy" with a post mentioning PageRank without making a terrible mistake - 9/10 SEOs know less than Dave.

Careful quoting Brian though, he doesn't think PageRank (just some) is needed to rank.

Looks like Matt got dressed for the occasion

Snoskred isn't your normal blogger. She spends a huge amount of her time scam baiting Nigerians. The information provided is frequently unique and vital.


For someone who undertakes such hobbies for no personal gain, to help prevent others falling into harms way online to be speaking out against Google in such terms, there has been a huge shift in trust.



From the page: "What's The Big Deal?



So Google have removed the numerical page rank of some websites. So what, I hear some of you say. Big deal. What does it matter? In the grand scheme of things, it probably doesnâ€t matter so much. However it seems some blogs and sites got slapped without ever having done anything against Googleâ€s rules. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? In the Google court, you donâ€t even get to see the judge."



Make sure you read the poem at the end, and think about your actions, or lack of action, or lack of voicing an opinion thinking that enough has been said.

From the page: "In psychology class, back when I was in collage, long time ago, I remember behavioral psychology had the stimulus - response model - you put some meat in front of a dog, he salivates. But a curious thing happened when you intermittently rewarded a stimulus (in this case, the loss of Pagerank) - people became nervous and anxious because they did not know what to expect - so they started living in a state of higher anxiety - because they never knew what to expect."

From the page: "I think a simple way to start telling the difference is my post title: Who benefits? It's time to get rid of the sappy "no evil" theory about Google, and look at them for what they are: a shareholder driven corporation, like everyone else."

Aaron Walls reply to Matt Cutt's (Google Webspam)potential lynching of Aaron on his popular blog.

I find this comment made by Aaron most profound, maybe he is going to keep the "truth" within the cooments from now on, as it is less likely to upset Google, but unfortunately also less likely to be seen by hi RSS readers.

From the page: "Most people who get labeled as spammers do not have a loud soap box to stand on and voice what they see as wrong or hypocritical with the process. And if they do they are typically too emotionally tied to the event to write rationally.

As the weak and poor are kicked and beaten down they have no voice or energy left to speak. And those left standing are afraid to speak up. To put it in historical context:"

From the page: "Alexa? I mean, that sets the bar pretty darn low. Is PR really more meaningless than Alexa? Alexa has all kinds of bias problems and panel self-selection problems and general problems with providing meaningful stats. It's the same with all the metrics, it's really easy to game any of them. Each provides a very broad view of a site which becomes arguably more accurate the higher the ranking."

Official statement finally from Izea (PayPerPost) on their blog regarding Google PageRank Updates.



"We now know from some of our friends inside of Google (thanks "bob") that they are now looking for phrases such as PPP, PayPerPost,ReviewMe, Payu2blog, etc. in the text of your post. For that reason I would suggest refraining from using any type of this text in the body of your posts, sponsored or not. When you disclose thank the sponsor, not PPP."
