During this day Google’s hand of justice hit hundreds of bloggers. If you know how a rush in Counter Strike looks like you’ll be able to picture how Google striked today. No one was spared, the penalty affected litteraly hundreds of blogs online and many of them went down by two and even three spots. Looks like Google is trying to clean up the mess they first started by implementing the PageRank. Most of the blogs and mainstream websites lost PR juice due to link exchange with other big sites and what Google strictly prohibited some time ago, selling links. Yes, they actually ment that and they showed it today. Here’s a list of affected websites and blogs:
