Alright, so there is another Google Pagerank update. And guess what? Like we all thought, it’s a crap pagerank update again. Nothing has changed with Google’s attitude.
I am a strong believer that Google is the best search engine on the web. It also has some great webmaster tools and great communities, recreation sites and advertising programs like Orkut, YouTube and Adsense. But when it comes to Pagerank, well, they suck big time. I think this is how they prove that “No One Is Perfect”. They wanted something terribly wrong with their system, and they have pagerank for that task.
I m more disappointed with the way Google treats directories. I have one major directory which has 525,000 inlinks in Yahoo siteexplorer and nearly 1700 backlinks in Google! Awful comparision but still… I got PR3 on that directory of mine, although it was PR5 in the very second update. The PR dropped that time and seems it won’t go up again. It’s a directory alright, and i do provide listings to other websites as every directory should do, even Google Directory and DMOZ directory, for that matter, does. But the fact is that i have never SOLD any links on homepage or inside pages, ever, despite getting thousands request from advertisers every month. Still Google is treating that as paid links. I think the guys behind pagerank have lost good portion of brains. And i do believe that these guys will go beyond every limit to prove how big dumb ass they are. It’s even more disappointing to see that some new directories, with default templates, and useless names, with couple of hundred backlinks get PR5 or PR6. Arggghhh… Come on Google PR guys. Get some life. At least clear up your basics. Damn, what a waste.
These days i am just trying to buy links for traffic… Followed or no followed…i am just concentrating on traffic. But Google spoils my day everytime there is a pagerank update. Looks like all efforts down the drain.
Disappointed, Depressed and Tired of Google Pagerank i also opened a thread in some of the webmaster forums. I get almost the same response from 90 percent of webmasters. After a pretty long discussion and thinking on PageRank system, i have analyzed that either Google Pagerank should soon be reviewed by Google Team and things shall back to normal or else Google is going to lose faith of many webmasters as far as PR is concerned.
All said, i still believe that Google Directory does not deserve the PR8 it has. Come On Google, you are just a copycat when it comes to directory. Using DMOZ Database in normal term does mean that you are copying it’s efforts and content. At least we directory owners do have our own unique content on directories. So stop the injustice and do something for which webmaster’s get a little easy life…comparatively.

Haha…don’t let it drive you mad. I know the feeling. 3 times my blog was PR4 and all three times it dropped soon after to zero. I have 2 blogs, one has a pr4 but only has 26 posts and hardly any incoming links …it should be a PR0. My main blog has tons of incoming links, I’ve never written a paid post, nor do I have paid links yet it is a PR0. It makes no sense. I know of several new blogs only a month or two old with a PR4 or better…hahaha. It’s enough to make me hate google.

Dont start hating Google, but think if google allows webmasters to make money this way, they will slowly lose their brand in the long term which is the reason these changes were made in their Algo. Why not now try for more traffic and convert them?

Amit. frankly i have nothing against Google. I love Google as a whole. I still agrre that they have the best search engine compared to other giants and also they have some good parts like you tube, gmail webmaster tools, etc. It’s just tthat their pagerank system sucks a lot. It’s a big blot on their system. I really do not have any more trust left in their so called pagerank algorithms and the team handling pagerank system (The manual penalization team). Other than that Google is still one of the best websites on net!
