Google PageRank Update Octoberfest 2007
While browsing a Business Directory, a friend told me that he experienced a Google ToolBarPageRank (TBPR) and BackLinks (BL) update. And this made many webmasters angry (I guess) because some of the most respected blogs in blogosphere like problogger.net for instance which is somewhat very frustrated on the recent PR update. And according to Andy made a table on the update.

This update has threatened lot of bloggers and webmaster regarding selling links. Google gave penalty to big time bloggers so that others will follow. And I don’t think this will stop webmaster from buying/selling links just my opinion.
