Simonne: hey, nice to see you. There you go, it is true after all and after I published this post the other day I found a list of tons of bloggers who got hit. They were mainly in Malaysia, but I believe it is affecting everybody more or less. Seeni J G: thanks for the welcoming words. :-) Yes, I'm part of the EW team. I've been working with Gobala since June this year and it has been great. Since I am a blogger and freelance writer that is what I do for a (near) living. Glad you find my posts useful. Benjamin: I guess you are referring to David's comment regarding reviews?? I agree with you in terms of finding it hard to stay true to your blog if one does these reviews. I think it is essential for any blogger to only write reviews who fit their blogs theme. And then there is always the amount too. Some bloggers have gone a little wild and it makes it hard to become a reader if the blog is loaded with reviews. David: good point and one I haven’t contemplated.

I am really tired of having to call on my 12 years of internet marketing to figure out if a review of a product is really a review or just a commercial masquerading as one. Blogs were so freshing for a while, now they are just another commercial annoyance. Good, if I want infomercials I will watch late night television.

It will be interesting to see how PPP's Real Rank will work, because in case PR will not be a criterion of ranking blogs, I might be interested to stay with PPP, as long as my traffic is not affected by the PR drop.

In the process of searching I get a list of results that are all reviews from paid per post authors. Gues what I am going to another search engine! I want authentic reviews, not a bunch of mercenaries. Google did the right thing by the consumer. Of course the above is based on the assumption that PPP bloggers only get paid if they write something positive. From a consumer viewpoint if I am searching for, lets say, Sinus Products.

I'm merely a blogger writing here for Gobala Krishnan. Nonetheless I'm glad you found us and hope you will come back frequent. :-) Andrew: it sucks and I am sorry for you and all the others this happens to right now. I totally understand Google since they do make their rules and I guess with the power they have they simply CAN. But many bloggers had no idea it was affecting them and now it is rather late to make changes. This is really what sucks mostly.

I am a PPP blogger and all my blogs has been PR 'zerofied' by Google. 9/10 of all the PPP blogs I surveyed have also been penalized by Google with a PR 0. I listed the handful of Malaysian PPP bloggers that I know of on my blog. Now all that remains is whether the affected bloggers will turn around, follow Google's advice, stop writing paid posts and request for reinclusion using Google's webmaster tools.
