What would this manual update mean? The sites updating the PR themselves? How would that work though?

Is it meant as Google handpicking who they want to update on a small scale?

Nope it depends on the changes you make!! If you modify the blogs frequently then you will have an update like this

It means Google handpicked sites that were doing this wrong, such as selling links - and lowered their PR.

Are you sure about this?

Almost every blogger posts at least once a week,and that is often.

I somehow believe that the problem is in selling links.

Right, that explains why none of my friends reported any growths in their PR, and only a drop to a lower PR.

I understand it all now. I just need to be careful and make sure I stick withing Google's guidelines. It seems a lot harder to get penalised than to get banned from Adsense though.

In my opinion You were penalized by Google, Do you sell/buy links or participate in programs like PayPerPost or Sponsored Review?

Does Google penalise you for taking part in PayPerPost and SponsoredReviews? I do not think this is true..
You are writing articles and in depth reviews of the website, and not just doing a link. Yes they are being sold, but they are being sold as an affiliate product through another business, all you are doing is promoting and publising it, so why should your own site be penalised for this.

Can anyone confirm, provide proof of this, as I was planning on doing this service myself, and I'm registered on both PayPerPost and SponsoredReviews.

Google completely removes PayPerPost bloggers Page Rank - TECH.BLORGE.com

PayPerPost Bloggers Get Slammed By Google

Yes it's totally confirmed that google will slap you if you participate in PPP and SR. Check out the official Payperpost blog where their owner has a go on google

Well thanks for this information, because I was planning on doing PayPerPost and Sponsoredreviews, as said in on my blog a few weeks ago.

I will have to steer clear of it now, and make another blog post to warn people about it, as it was becoming a suggested way of promoting your site, which is a bad thing if its going to get your PR wiped.

If you don't let daddy know that you are publishing paid posts then it should be fine.
Just don't put the PPP badge on your site and it should be fine

If you weren't selling links then it doesn't matter if you got a PR penalty. Be happy if you still have SERPs.

They are still going to know because its constant review > link to site and so on.

I also seen a few weeks ago that payperpost and sponsored reviews offers and I though that it was a pretty good way to earn some extra money,but it isn't worth it if I can get penalized.Google specially hates link selling.

Yeah, I have removed the post about it on my blog now, and I am not going to be using either PPP or Sponsored Reviews.

I also thought it would be a good way to earn some extra income, and also get the name out as a good reviewer to bring some more popularity to the blog, but obviously not if I am going to be penalised for it. I am going to steer well clear.

I guess I can't do my review selling either then on my site which I was doing for some time. Not on GSCO although I was planning on moving it there.

There's no harm in doing paid review if you do it the right way. Firstly, never make it obvious that you are doing paid reviews. Hide your Disclosure Policy, i.e. use a robot.txt to prevent bots from indexing them.

Then do relevant reviews, Don't review a Viagra website if you have a finance blog.
Don't do 10's in a day. Try sticking to 3-5 a week.

All this should keep you out of trouble IMO

If you do not let them get indexed, then people will not want to buy them. The whole point is to create a backlink and a google search for their site, thats why they would buy a review. If we take away that perk, then nobody is going to buy a review.

No, I mean don't let the disclosure Policy. (In which you disclose that you accept paid post, must for participating in networks)

Use robots.txt to prevent google from indexing the disclosure policy.

Alright that makes more sense. I misread.

I guess with this approach it would be better, but there is no point taking the risk that still exists. For me anyways. Perhaps other people who want to do reviews on their website can do this with their robots.txt file and then be ok, but I would rather not take the risk if I am totally honest.
