Google will be expiring some older pagerank penalities

Google’s Matt Cutts announced that a new Google Toolbar PageRank update is on the way and will be visible over the next few days. Google will be expiring some older pagerank penalities on websites. This will create a flutter in the web world especially the blogosphere. It will be interesting to see who gains and who loses pagerank.

I hope I regain my own.

Google PageRank Patent May Go

New criteria for restricting the scope of what the US Patent Office considers patent-worthy poses a threat to numerous software patents, including Google's famed PageRank.

Google climbed past a morass of ineffective search engines when it arrived on the Internet. Its devotion to the most relevant possible solution for a given query quickly made it the de facto search choice as millions of people shifted their browsing habits from walled garden content to the broader World Wide Web.

The essential and much-discussed PageRank technology holds a patent, a common legal protection sought by software developers small and large. Some have claimed software patents affect far too broad a scope of potential innovation, leading to lawsuits where a patent owner claims damages by multiple companies.

Those on the losing end of such suits end up paying for what they argue are obvious and non-original concepts. That could change with a shift in the way the USPTO looks at software patents, the Patently-O blog on patent law said.

A series of cases may remake the software industry, all the way to the top where Google and other companies reside:

In the most recent of these three (cases)—the currently pending en banc Bilski appeal—the Office takes the position that process inventions generally are unpatentable unless they "result in a physical transformation of an article" or are "tied to a particular machine."

Patently-O sees Google's PageRank, the patent for which is owned by Stanford University, as failing the first part of the test, as generating scores isn't a physical transformation. The second part proves troubling given recent decisions made by the USPTO in a couple of other cases, not only for PageRank but other Google patents too.

"Google might have thought that the patent system would surely protect new technological developments that are highly creative and socially valuable. The PTO’s new position proves that view mistaken," Patently-O said.

Linkbait tricks of new Blog directory

I read a ad on Google search engine about India's first blogging portal which provides blogger platform to showcase their blog. I signed up as I am in desperate need of some publicity for my blog. I go through the normal routine of signing up a new service. Then I gave my information to them about my blog,tags,etc. Then comes the shocker. I have to paste a code snippet in my template. this they say is to confirm that I am the owner of the blog. The code contains a link to the site. The reason they gave, I tell you, is rubbish. All they need is links so as to get more pagerank. I mean who else would want to submit my blog to their site that they have to confirm?

Breaking News- My pagrank drops from 1 to 0.

Google has slapped me. My pagerank has been reduced from one to zero.

READ:My pagerank increase

From pagerank 0 to 1 with little effort

Hurrah!!! At last my pagerank increased to one yesterday. I having been blogging for more than a year but didn't know about the necessary evil of the web pagerank. Last month I came to know about it from a forum. I then started to try increase my pagerank.All I did was to submit my blog as a signature in comments of blogs which do follow. Viola, my pagerank is 1. Now, I am going to try increase it more by submitting the url to forums and social networking sites.

How to punch Google for slapping

All those who are still reeling under Google's crackdown need to get united. You may have noticed that all the google owned websites have PR of 6+. Adsense has PR 10 while they have given a pagerank of 9 to yahoo publisher network. Now It's our time to take on the Internet Monarch . All you have to do is to remove all links in your site to google or just add no-ref or whatever that is ,so that their pagerank reduces and they get the taste of their own medicine.

Let us do it guys!!!!

Payperpost not learning from its mistakes?

You may have noticed by now that Google is penalizing bloggers by reducing their PageRank writing sponsored blogs through Payperpost. Google traces these blogs by the Payperpost disclosure badge. Logically,Payperpost should have asked its bloggers to remove the Badge. Instead, they have introduced Realrank which most of their Advertisers don't care. PPP reasoning is that,since,visitors visit blogs for real information ,bloggers should not cheat them with passing on sponsored post as their own post. Fair enough but they could have asked the bloggers to add a text disclaimer at the end of their post.
My advice to PPP to stop the badge policy.
