Googles new algo - is it working?

Hi

Do you think Googles new algo of penalising those who sell links for PR is working?

Thanks

It's definitely decrease number of submissions to the premium directories, especially to the bidding ones...
It also hit hard on SERP's and pr for the sites in question - directories, blogs, forums...

I don't think the latest algo really effected the SERPs much, mainly the PR.

As far as I am aware, SERPs and PR are 2 different things.

It depends personally i think its had an impact on those who are PR crazy, they dont like the fact that there PR has dropped because they have been selling links on the other hand if the link sellers are in it for the money then they may be hit by the lack of people purchasing links as there to scared to take the risk.

Well, we are brave enough, aren't we.
I hardly recognise any change at the ranking pages, but almost all of my sites drop PR. I had a forum which has a lot of natural link (real natural, not my work) and achieved PR2, which was a bit odd.:crazy1: This whole thing will prove fo PR hardcore fans, as i am, that PR doesn't worth bothering myself.

A risk i will never take , nothing wrong with a bit of well organized reciprocal linking.

Resonate, how will you define well organized reciprocal linking, I think you have been very successful at it.

I say organised.... i mean organised chaos lol

I submit to a small % of web directorys which are well structured & offer free or reciprocal submission (on such directory i really love is Bagi's directoryofseolinks thanks bagi ). I mainly use Lavalinx a new link manager to organise who can & cant link to me this allows you to monitor internal linking (links made through lavalinx) & external linking such as me & you making an offer now, it has its own reciprocal link checker so i know other sites are still linking to me which is a major factor as some people know users dont check there reciprocal links after a while & remove your links.

My site was dropped to PR3 and I noticed average PR of backlinks is lower now. It seems there is not any BL site whose PR was rised. But the some stats shows 50/50. Is there something wrong? And, how does Google update PR without Bl update?
