Yesterday, we saw a huge drop of Google PageRank for several major blogs including Engadget, Problogger, Autoblog, John Chow, Search Engine Journal and more. Even mainstream news web sites like Forbes, Washington Post and New Scientist are punished as well.
Did Google change its PageRank algorithm like what DailyBlogTips has mentioned? Or was it just a punishment for selling links like what Andy Beard has suggested? For the past couple of weeks, Google has already issued a warning for web sites that sell links to include a “no follow” in the links to advertisers but nobody has ever takes Google seriously.
What’s your say?

If you are an avid web developer that uses Firefox a lot, you may want to consider downloading SearchStatus 1.17 by Craig Raw.
This Firefox add-on is compatible with Firefox 1.0 to 2.0b2, so it won’t be a problem. The function of SearchStatus is simple, it displays Google’s PageRank and Alexa popularity score of the web site you are visiting. For example, if you visit Google.com, you will get PageRank of 10/10 and Alexa popularity of 3 - meaning it’s the 3rd most visited site in the world (at the moment).
The Google PageRank for Lovey-DoveyGifts.com is 4/10 whilst the Alexa Rank is not available (at the moment of writing).
