Well, apparently Copyblogger’s Page Rank will not be dropping from 6 to 4, and is instead showing as 7 across 39 of 45 datacenters. Even though it likely means nothing from a practical standpoint, it’s nice to have my name cleared.

I didn’t have anything to do with speaking to google, as I was way too busy with Teaching Sells. But here’s what I was told about discussions between b5media and a Google representative.

\n

b5: “Umm… Google?”

\n

Google: “Yes?”

\n

b5: “Is this PageRank thing supposed to penalize bloggers who are in blog networks?”

\n

Google: “No, this is a warning to those who sell links.”

\n

b5: “Umm… well, Copyblogger has never sold links.”

\n

Google: “Really?”

\n

b5: “Really.”

\n

Google: “Whoops. Well, we have a problem.”

\n

b5: “What’s that?”

\n

Google: “We’re fresh out of PR 6 designations for this update.”

\n

b5: “What? Are you kidding?”

\n

Google: “How does a nice PR 7 sound?”

\n

b5: “Let me ask Brian.” (pretends to call me)

\n

b5: “Ok, he states that’s fine.”

\n

Google: “Great. Sorry again.”

\n

Note: The part about Google being out of PR 6 designations is a joke, as is the part about having to “give” me a 7. The 7 is the Page Rank the blog would have had anyway but for the “warning” that wasn’t applicable to me. Just to be clear.
