@Fazreen,
But Google is the one who judge your blog to be in top page or last page in search engine. I prefer myself to have PR and higher SERPS. I do make more money than selling text link with my current rank. It’s my first blog (I have few other niche blogs), so I want to keep it healthy. :)

I also sell text link in my blog fortunately, last PR updated my blog PR maintain. This issue have been discuss over years. Look, google itself sell text link to advertiser. They slapped our PR because google hate their competitors. IF you really want to make money just ignore it. For experience bloggers, they know how to deal with it. One of their blog was penalized, more blog will build up later. So chill ! .-= Fazreen´s last blog ..The Power Of Twitter Is Undeniable =-.

makesomemoneywithme : Hmm I’m not sure whether they really take PR as a part of determining results. I check my keyword result and always at the same result or improve a little bit, but after I lost my PR, it drop to about 2-3 pages behind, perhaps other factors cause it. =)

Yea, I send the reconsideration letter to them already, but maybe my letter still in queue. I heard someone that her PR came back in 1 month. I will follow up with Google again next week. =)

There’s no denying that PR will be part of determining results, but not because of PR itself but because of what made the PR – the incoming links. :)

I’m sure they do consider that, but not until like wah so power drop a bit PR also affecting it like how you put it! :D

The thing I’m not sure of is when the PR penalty is given, does Google still consider the backlinks. I think they do.

So how? did you contact them / appeal yet?

makesomemoneywme : Btw, I don’t see any site from Widgetbucks appear in Google search result also, it’s weird. Sometimes it’s really weird, no one know what Google do, I heard somebody using TLA for few months d, but his PR4 still maintained.
Ya, I admit some lower PR site can beat higher PR sites, but I believe Google might take PR as 1 of their consideration in determine ranking too. Of course, there are many other factors as well. Content is the main important factor.

Hmm..you’re so lucky that Google give back your PR in short time. Congratulation! =)

So far the Widgetbucks issue is not conclusive, so I don’t think it’s fair to exactly put it as part of your 5 reasons. btw look at Text Link Ads, they’re also not in Google search result either. :)

And you realize PR affect the search result? on what basis? The result drop of your page is not in any way conclusive of PR and its relation to search result. From what I see, it could just be that so happen others on the same niche did something better than you, thus your page dropped.

I’ve seen lower PR sites beat higher PR sites on some search too, so I think that is enough to prove that PR and SERP are not related so close until losing of PR would drop the result down a few pages. :)

Do understand the difference between Google Search Results and Google PageRank. While G.PR is a matter of link votes, Google Search Results are of a really huge complex algorithm that’s not sided on PR.

Lastly, I got my lost PR back in less than 7 days. The Google people were helpful and fast. :D

azrin : Haha, it depends how long they took and depends how many people request for reconsiderations too, I’m still queeu-ing in the line. I don’t write paid post at all, I took down text link too, but Nuffnang should be ok, because it’s not against Google’s TOS. =)

You experienced lost of PR too ? How long did you get back your PR ?

Slipper : Erm, it depends how you write your article, make sure you’re not purposely repeating the keyword. Write in natural way. =)

Tang : Google just slapped our Pagerank, don’t worry Tang, we still can use Adsense or Picasa. If we lost our PR, it just drops our search engine ranking and traffic. You still can use other Google tools. =)
