It seems Google is looking for sites that are doing everything a more natural way. For instance, buying links on others' sites through TLA probably isn't worth a damn anymore. I've been reading over at ProBlogger Rowse has been saying the PR drop has to do with selling links on your site, but I know another guy who has been selling links. His PR went up. So ? Anyway, Google doesn't care about webmasters. They respond to the demands of search engine users. And that's why they're the most used.

Unfortunately there's no way to know when the big daddy will strike and how hard. All the more reason why Brian Clark's Teaching Sells makes eminent sense. Yes, it does hurt when the dad spanks.

Yes, I was hit and dropped from PR6 to PR5. It’s not so much that we were shocked when it happened, but that it seems so targeted at certain bloggers. Yes, I was hit and dropped from PR6 to PR5.

The more your business is dependent on PR, the harder you're going to get hit when something goes wrong. Bloggers and other people making money online (smarter than me) have been saying this for ages (me, a late starter, I've been saying this since early 06 myself) - play for the long-term, focus on sources of traffic and revenue that are a) independent of search engines and b) in sync with market trends and common business sense - Independence from search engines: even if search is your main source of traffic, your site shouldn't be locked into just one search engine - if it ranks well on all / most search engines, even if a new SE replaces G and Y overnight, there's a very good chance that you'll still do well. - In Sync with market trends: A diversified portfolio does better than a one-trick business. While in the short run gaps in the system may allow you to make a lot of money very quickly through intelligent exploitation, in the long run the loopholes will close so your base should be solid and you should always MOVE ON to the next gap before you get hit for staying at the old one too long. After hearing from Google for over an year that they were going after the paid links market, is this really a surprise? The surprise is that people might have been caught with their pants down (not the people mentioned in this article though - IMO these guys were prepared way ahead of time, and the PR penalties won't hit them as hard as the number drop might suggest to the imagination).
