"It looks like Google may be playing around with everyone's PageRanks again.\nThe last time this happened was in October when we all learned that selling links from your site could lead to your getting a big ole zero.  This event led to PayPerPost, a site well known for purchasing links, to change their name to Izea, and later create their own ranking system, IZEARanks.  The basic idea is to try to wrest some control of a ranking system from the hands of just one company, and provide a more \"true\" ranking system for blogs.\nThus far there has been no spotting of major oddities with the changes like there were last time.  Hopefully this one will go a bit smoother and not cause so much stress, as people wonder where their ranks went.  The only surprising thing thus far is that it is happening so soon.\nOr maybe it just feels like that.  The typical cycle has been every three months, which have now passed, but the last update was discussed for so long it just feels like it's only been a few weeks.\nNot all data centers appear to have been updated yet, so keep your eyes on your sites over the weekend.\n[via Daily Blog Tips]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
