Today as I was going across many blogs I noticed that there was a heading that problogger had been demoted to PR 4 from PR7 and now his classification was on the above page where he did .
I am now too much bothered about my blog as it is still not having any kind of Pagerank and will this be penalized and if this occurs what will happen . Will my blog ever get any kind of pagerank or something like this . I also came to know that most of the blogs who are penalized were no-follow free that means they had removed the rel=”nofollow” attribute from their blogs and as a result they were penalised and I had done this around one month ago . I am not selling any kind of text links as such as my credibility is not so much that I can sell tex-links or any one can even buy text-links from this site . Now if in this case my site is penalized what will happen.
I also came to know that google is penalizing those sites who are in a network as their reputation is being removed . My blog’s reputation was good and still having some back links which will give it a PR 4 status but I am doubtful after the penalizing strategy of google which began yesterday.
Ok Ok I am not bothered what wil happen . Nothing I will add a no-follow attribute again if needed to compensate for any kind of PR loss that I make.
Here are some Sources which were penalized.
Here are some unusual penalties for trusted sources of good content

I doubt that Google penalized blogs for removing “nofollow” in fact I asked Andy about it. Evidently Google stated in the past, that if you can verify the link you do not need to “nofollow”.
Problogger and some other blogs have never removed nofollow yet got penalized.
Thanks for the link!
