When I woke up this morning, I saw on Techcrunch that Google’s hunting season has moved toward Pay Per Post publishers. Since I have been denied becuase of my theme, I’ve just took another sip of coffee and moved over. Later I saw that John Chow has approached the subject too and I checked my PR.

Well, after the first flush (hunting those selling links)  when I got from 5 to 2, now I am at very fresh ZERO :))). Well it looks that this one was an algorithmic one, flushing all the sites that had a Pay Per Post badge.

Is funny and is funny a lot. I really don’t care about how this site behaves in SERPs or in terms of PR, because this is a testing ground and not a traffic/money machine. But Google movements tend to have the opposite effect on the market. Instead of wiping out an entire industry that has a symbiotic nature, Google is in fact growing it stronger. At the end of the day, the winners are going to be the publishers and the looser will be Google.

And it will be the looser because it will be facing thousands of new stealth techniques.

Regarding my new shiny PR 0, I am very curious how this site will behave on the nex, regular PR update because I’ve removed all my link exchange scripts and the PPP badge.
