The bottom line here is this…63 percent of all searches are done on google. if you want a chance at a top 10 or 20 listing in the organic search results then you will have to adapt to what ever google does.

[...] even funnier is the fact that these changes are happening when the issue of sponsored links is becoming a hot topic in the search engine [...]

Do away with the silly pagerank indicator in the toolbar and googles problem would be solved.
However, they probably fear that then less people would use it (toolbar) and their market share could drop.

The whole discussion about pagerank and paid links or gifted links is silly. Look around and you find too many websites that are optimized for pagerank and google ranking but they are not userfriendly or interesting to look at at all (content wise).

If webmasters would concentrate more on how to make a good and userfriendly site instead of worrying what some idiot at google could dream up next - the internet would be a much better place.

i think there is a yes and no to it…somehow someone is buying and selling links but you are also able to get them free. basically it cost the websmaster nothing to put a link up, unless it could divert traffic away from your website.

everywherw i go, the Google thing come up. They seem to be everywhere. Even company that wanna pay you for your review also has the google Page Ranking in their criteria. It seems that we will not be able to ignore google even if we want to. so i guess.

If every link becomes a traded one, it is a serious problem for the Internet.
If every link is weighed for PR, it is a serious problem by Google.
