Under Google’s Thumb
Everyone in Web Business and the Blogosphere have been sitting on pins and needles waiting for Google to run and update. Now that it has happened, there is a lot of emotional outpouring and ill-informed post game analysis going on. There is not really anything informative coming from the Google.
Truly important sites like Forbes.com and Washingtonpost.com suffered a drop in Page Rank.
Techcrunch.com is listed in an article on Forbes as one of the fallen. An early post on Techcrunch itself doesn’t seem to acknowledge any drop. The Techcrunch post used the word Jihad in its title and received many, many comments from people who were offended or pretended to be offended. I am offended by the Washington Redskins (or maybe I am just pretending).
If you are an outsider reading about all the Page Rank related anxiety and frustration, I will sum it up for you…It’s all about the money.
