Google Penalizes Itself

February 12th, 2009 Jeff Posted in Domaining | No Comments »

For those of you who haven’t heard Google was recently caught paying for sponsored blog posts in Japan to promote their services. These marketing tactics came as quite a surprise as Google dropped a swath of sites to PR 0 for selling sponsored posts with links on Pay Per Post back in late 2007.

Today Google.co.jp has had its page rank go from a PR 9 to a PR 5. Apparently being Google doesn’t do anything for you when Matt Cutts is on the job.
