Google cuts page rank of blog link farms
Oct 24th, 2007 by dabloguiman
Google appears to have punished large scale blog networks and similar link farms, where each site in the network provides hundreds of outgoing links on each page of the blog to other blogs in the network, in some cases creating tens, even hundred of thousands of cross links. In many of these cases, including AOL owned Weblogs Inc, page ranks have dropped substantially, with leading Gadget blog Engadget dropping from PR 7 to PR5, Autoblog (6 to 4) and DownloadSquad (5 to 4).
