Google PR behave erratically

Do you notice Google PR behave erratically lately. When I check out other forums, I can also read from members the same complaint whereby PR is going down for no reason. Do you notice same thing happening to your site?

My site was 0'd. Any site which sells space's / links to any other site which isnt a google approved service can get your PR rest. This has happened to around 10,000 bloggers in the last 6 months who have sold links or posted for cash more then 4 times a week.

Google are trying to protect their company by treating its users like dirt, even companies who use google adsense have been 0'd because of another link which was "paid for".

Doesnt matter if you buy or sell links, google will find you

That is just their way these days! They are big enough now where they can just say screw it. They pretty much do what they want. No "little person" like us is going to take on suing them or anything. It is really sad but .....

Actually I don't know the reason why it happen. I never got myself involve in selling links and one month it's ok and the next month it just drop to zero. Can't understand why. This kind of things actually happen to big sites like Google.

Maybe that's the reason why it's happen. Because they are a big sites, have a full control with the rank, and all of sudden the only thing that matter is their income from the big sponsor

If we look carefully, google seems to have a lot of half done projects. The current existing ones like the webmasters tools constantly have bugs. They are also working on projects taken from other ideas like the Knol based on wikipedia and the voting system similar like digg. I wonder what's next.

Anything which looks like its trying to get around their ToS even a innocent little link can get you 0'd, they really dont care who they affect as long as the people paying to use adsense are ok and near the top anyone who doesnt pay is thrown to the side

Yeah, worst part is that they don't give you a warning or any soft. At least if they decided to slap you with a ban, they should give a good reason plus with evidence. It's just scary what they might do. Well, they have every right to it. After all, they are the biggest.

They are the biggest which means when the next big thing hits the net they are gonna have a massive fall meaning they might re-evaluate how they treat their users (we can only hope and prey)
