maybe we'll have to wait a day or two to see what happens..

Does Google penalize you for lots of outgoing links?

A have the same shit at few of may domains with wordpress (dropped to PR0 from PR3 yesterday), but I believe it's just a google dance. Should be back within couple of days.

Naughty-Pages · 01-11-2007, 03:48 PM

Actually, the reason why google dropped the PR of sites using the Verdana font was because of the W32.Verdana virus which poses as the font in infected servers and eventually infects the webmasters intelligence thereby destroying the site.

I can remove this virus for 100 Yen. If you can't afford that, I can take payments of 10 Yen per month for 10 months interest free.

It is better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

It wasn't like my site went from a 6 to a 4 or even a 3, it dropped to ZERO overnight. I did some Google tests and we were not ranking on page 1 like normal, in fact we weren't showing up on Google at all while at 0. So yeah I made a post to figure out why.

Learned a lot about page rankings in the process. Stuff I would not have known if I didn't open my trap to ask some questions.

Page rankings (SERPs) and Page Rank are not close to being the same thing.

God damn this thread is funny

PR was calculated long before you made your changes

mikeyddddd · 01-11-2007, 09:22 PM

To avoid duplicate content penalties you MUST use custom fonts.

I didn't say they were. I said that our site was not showing up on Google. Since they weren't showing up, I did a quick PR check and saw it was at Zero.

I make over six-figures and I check my PR often because I make a lot of link trades. First thing that a lot of people look at is PR before trading. So yeah... I check mine more often that every 3 months.

Also if you butter your toast from right to left then google has been known to reset your PR. So be careful.

For some reason I have my doubts that if you do it has a damn thing to do with SEO or SE in general.
