While everyone is upset and mad at Google because Google penalized many websites for selling text link ads by deducting their pagerank, I am happy that i received my pagerank increase. My blog received very first pagerank update and got PR5 from PR0. The update is still in process but most of the Google data centers are showing PR 5 for BlogsAndBucks.com.

The reason i didn’t (none of my websites got penalized) get penalized because i followed Google’s guidelines. As i always say,

“If you do internet marketing, you better care about Google’s existence.”
