Google’s up to it Again - More Toolbar PR Reductions
October 24th, 2007 | 3 commentsObviously the first round of PR reductions was just a primer. Sometime in the last 24 hours or so the big G downgraded even more blogs, most with a good amount of authority. They even poured salt on the wounds of some by reducing their PR once again!
Andy provides a list of some of the bigger blogs that were hit by the PR reduction this time around and goes into his thoughts on what may be going on.
Vlad tells his readers to stop linking to him, as he was one who lost some PR this time around. I won’t be taking his advice on this one though. If Google wants to penalize me for linking to quality blogs then they can kiss my ass and bite it too!!
Caroline dives into PR and why we should, or shouldn’t care about Toolbar PR.
It sounds like most of these blogs are only suffering from a reduced toolbar PR and not the actual PR, as I haven’t heard of any of them losing spots in the SERPS. I’d imagine Matt Cutts will be asked about this a million and one times so I’m anxious to see what he says about it.

This came to me as a surprise I saw many blogs losing their rankings due to the PR reduction. John Reese recently launched his widget called the ‘blog rush’ the team manually reviewed many blogs and eliminated the duplicate ones. Its a good news for real bloggers like us.
