Google Slaps Itself for Buying Links…

by Jack Humphrey on Oct 27

Google buys a high PR site, YouTube.com, and then the pagerank plummets to a 3. Some would say Google is being “not evil” and including themselves in their filtering system of weeding out link buyers.

It might be because I turned Google in for link buying in their Webmaster Tools area where they allow us to snitch on each other. Whatever the case may be, It shows even Google isn’t above its own filtering and sniffing system.

Just goes to show that even Google doesn’t care as much about Pagerank anymore, lol.
