I don’t do any of these ‘things’.But in the latest update, my PR decreased from 3 to 2…why is that so?

“Write reviews on Text link ads and TNX” – really? What if it’s a negative review asking people not to use them, maybe my PR will increase lol (kidding)

Yeah Gobala, wish if that was the case lol. But yea reviews on TNX and TLA are risky, although technically we may be right nofollowing all the links etc, that is a good sign to google that you are inclined to it may be. It’s not in the records however.

It can’t be something that happens automatically right, I’m assuming it’s only the case of manual intervention, and only if you’re too much into promoting paid links etc. But a single review or two won’t hurt?

I can still show you some blogs with PR5 though they use TLA…not sure whether google is blind to those blogs or they have made those areas invisible to google

Mani Karthik Replied:
Shall we call them “exceptions” ? I don’t want to take any clues from them. I’m sure a normal blog which is not yet an authority is at risk using TLA. Discount the exceptions.

Funny, but did you mean “do follow”? No follow is what you’re supposed to do.

hhmm, you are right ManiKarthik. Why I didn’t read this post earlier?
I think, I lost Pagerank because I made outbound links as nofollow. I have stopped doing that now.
What should I do now? Will I get PR back in future?
