世論 What Japan Thinks

Following recent news that Google has been not just updating PageRank in the normal fashion, but also applying penalties to certain web sites, specifically for selling links for PageRank, and more specifically, for using Text Link Ads to do the selling. I noticed that Japan Probe, previously PageRank 5, is now PageRank 3.

Of course, in the big picture, PageRank in itself doesn’t really mean much, but for us second, third or fourth tier sites, PageRank provides a quick and dirty way of evaluating our worth.

Out of interest, let’s look at the top sites tagged with “japanese” and with inventory for sale at TLA’s web site, sorted by value. The TLA Current PageRank has not been updated recently. I’ve not published the names of sites I recognise so as not to point fingers at them. This table is sorted by PageRank order.

If your PageRank has changed, please leave a message on this thread. See Dig PageRank for a tool for doing mass checks.

After this point, most of the web sites became too difficult to recognise.
