Impacted sites include those with paid reviews (PayPerPost, ReviewMe, et al) and/or paid text links (Text Link Ads, Link Adage, et al). It isnâ€t clear just how widespread this penalty is being applied, but I have seen it on two other sites besides Andyâ€s."

Page rank is BACK!~ From the page: "PageRank Update Is Here For Some Word is trickling in that some websites are now having their Google PageRank updated. While this move had been long awaited, it isnâ€t the change that most webmasters were expecting. Indeed, the update seems to be targeting mostly one kind of site â€" those which openly and actively engage in the selling of paid links (and/or website reviews). Are you a paid link peddler? If so, you could be in for a nasty surprise â€" a -1 (even -2!) drop in your PageRank."

Not only is this news ugly, but it is threatening smaller sites which have low or no pagerank and looking to monetize their site honestly and ethically.

The news is ugly: some sites which were previously ranked (at PR6, for example) have been dropped by as many as two rankings with this "special" update. Impacted sites include those with paid reviews (PayPerPost, ReviewMe, et al) and/or paid text links (Text Link Ads, Link Adage, et al). It isn't clear just how widespread this penalty is being applied, but I have seen it on two other sites besides Andy's.
