Search Engine Guide Surrenders

Wow… Funny yet poignant at the same time.
Robert Clough, publisher of Search Engine Guide post a recent IM discussion with his editor Jennifer Laycock.
It is funny because they are both very smart, witty people… its not so funny because I hate seeing the little guy lose.

The post is in response to Google punshing sites that do not use NOFOLLOW tags on their advertising links. Google does this in an effort to thwart the GROWING trend of “buying” page rank by purchasing text link ads on highly ranked sites. Previous to last Octobers Google page rank update Search Engine Guide had a toolbar rating of PR7. They are now at PR4.
Robert is not bothered by the drop in page rank- he is annoyed at having to dance to Google’s rather large fiddle’s tune.
