Has anyone's Google PR been affected by selling links?

[richkid]

I have never actually sold any links so my sites havnt been affected. I think it was a lot more over hyped than the porblem deserves.

do a search in Google for "decreased pagerank selling links"

You will see a ton of articles and info that all says Google recently decreased many sites for selling links... many of the top sites were decreased in Google PR

Not that I really follow PR updates these days, but a few of my sites went from PR5 to PR4. I might sell a few links on one of the sites but didn't see any change in google referred traffic.

Google will update the page rank on daily basis, so we can not say that page rank remains constant.

If you tremendously buying and selling links that is not related to your website then you are in trouble.

[gregdavidson]

It will only be effected if you get reported or post something on your website such as "Buy A Link On Our Website".
