I've never indulged in PR sculpting using no-follows etc and have always supported drip-feeding as much quality copy on to sites as possible so perhaps I've just been diluting the PR over time. |
It most certainly can affect rankings, I see it all the time. I too have been screwed by G once again. Went from PR5, to TWO!! TWO!!! And I got ruined in the SERP's as well! TWELVE YEAR OLD website with several THOUSAND IBL's according to the G WMT area, and now those several thousand IBL's, according to G, have dropped to.......79!!!!! I had a poplular PR4 internal page drop to ZERO!! Jerks. Like I just said in another thread: "As William mentioned about "devaluing links", obviously they have had yet another "brain hemorrhage" and deleted a few more billion pages from their index: The G WMT area was showing a few thousand IBL's for me. Now?? 79!!!!! So because these jerks deleted all of those other webpages and websites from their index, I (we) too get ruined because of it,
proving once again their IBL-based philosophy is totally anencephalic and is ruining the internet and destroying businesses and lives."
