Barry Schwartz one of the most respected SEO information sources has reported that Google has pulled the PageRank stats from within Google Webmaster Tools found under crawl stats.

Barrys report on PageRank gone from GWT

There is also confirmation from a Google employee,

Susan Moskwa from the Google Webmaster Central team explained it was removed because Google keeps telling webmasters “that they shouldn’t focus on PageRank so much.” They felt it was “silly” to keep telling webmasters that, and at the same time show it in Webmaster Tools. So Google removed it from Webmaster Tools.

I imagine it won’t be long till PR is dropped from the toolbar as well.

When it happens seems to be only a matter of time!!

More to come!!

Ok here is a clue you are completely lost as to SEO and what it is about.

If you post on a job board and one of your requirements is the following….

Links must be permanent……

Then you have no clue on what you are doing or asking for. Here is why;

Websites and blogs appear online daily for the first time ever AND websites and blogs fall offline daily!!!

Now if a link is built to a site A from site B and site B falls offline a month later there is little to nothing that any SEO can do about that.

Of course if the SEO owns site B that is a different story but if you hired an SEO who builds links from his sites…..well you did not really hire an SEO after all…..

No link can be deemed permanent therefore, and if you think it can…….well I will be nice and leave things there….

Link Sales Are Fine After All!!

I checked today and the selling link spanking must be over.

Matt Cutts in an e-mail to Loren Baker clearly stated that Google was giving out PageRank reductions for selling links.

Matt Cutts to Loren Baker: The partial update to visible PageRank that went out a few days ago was primarily regarding PageRank selling and the forward links of sites. So paid links that pass PageRank would affect our opinion of a site.

Sounds ominous doesn’t it? Makes lots of people scared. But in all actuality it is simply Google Propaganda.

I found a lot of sites in the organic results and in the paid results with high PR and there are sites listed in the organic positions 1 to 10.

So whats going on?

Take a look at these sites.

http://www.textlinkbrokers.com/ PR3 Organic

Further just do a search on Google for the keywords ’sell text links”…….

Google is the mother of all corporate propaganda boys and girls, and it’s high time we put a stop to it!!

I guarantee this is a ploy to move the stock market in their favor.

More to come…
