Valleywag's posts mocking you are the only reason I come back to this site.

If you're just having ads on your site, than add a rel="nofollow"-tag to the links. Google won't index them and won't penalize you for them.
I think it's overdue that Google starts to penalize this behavior.
Info: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow
One thing you hear a lot of is - well, it will affect my advertising. I don't see how. The people who came to your site yesterday will still come tomorrow.
I have never found a blog through search. Well, it isn't about search rankings they say.. So, what is he issue? Why are you so hurt about your PR being a little lower today?
Whilst I have had a lot of airtime today on Techmeme (good job too because most stories about this were buried on Digg), it is very rare for me to show up, even with significant links as part of the story.
Even then I am quickly displaced by people saying almost nothing with far fewer overall links on sites like Techmeme.
On Podtech today you have a "Commissioned" video by Oracle. You have a link without nofollow. That is a paid link.
There are 20x, maybe 100x more paid links on Podtech.net than on my site.
I have written a total of 9 paid reviews, all well received by my audience, most received editorial links sometimes even from the person who purchased the review EVEN THOUGH I OFFERED CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.
Google themselves tell their users that TBPR (toolbar page rank) is an indication of quality.
Thus Google are now telling visitors to my site, and 100s, maybe 100s of others, that when they visit a site, it is a load of crock.
Those are lies... FUD
Maybe they have changed the meaning of PageRank. If they have done they need to inform every single one of their toolbar users that Google PageRank as displayed in the toolbar is meaningless.
It has to come from Google, not you.
you can declare page rank dead all you want (and in terms of real relevance I'm not disagreeing) but the reality is that PR is still wildly used as a measure in ad sales, particularly with Text link sales. It's not dead to the people who use it as a measure, or the people who rely on it to make ad sales. I'm not suggesting that this is overall a good thing (at the top end we've totally moved away from this) but it still remains a very real fact.

Ad buys/sells should be based on real stats; monthly uniques, page views, members, email or feed subscribers, traffic, etc. Of course, demographic information couldn't hurt either. Advertising hot dogs on a vegan web site isn't exactly the best bang for your buck.
An advertiser should be asking for real, verifiable, data, and publishers should be upfront with that data.
Just a week ago we were all discussing the default subscriber bundles and 70K subscribers to feeds that didn't work on Google Reader.
Every single stat can be gamed, and is. PageRank is not more inaccurate than anything else, or at least it wasn't.
I don't think anyone at Alexa manually adjusts stats.
Like PageRank, Alexa ranks aren't that difficult to manipulate given that one has the right resources, know how, and patience.
I never implied that one should pick a single metric to base ad sales/buys on, to the contrary I was suggesting quite the opposite.
I've personally seen site's with little PR have a greater affect on a back link campaign than site's with higher PR. Many times. I don't see how that supports people's blind faith in what was (until recently) PageRank.

The problem is that Google can’t really show you your real Page Rank anyway. How would it? It would need to ship you a spreadsheet to explain how you rank for each keyword.

They do provide an option for something similar with their webmaster tools, https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
While it doesn't give an accurate page rank, it does show the highest ranked pages and gives you a distribution of high/medium/low ranked pages on your site.
And it gives you a list of top searches and clicks for your website.
And yes they allow you to download CSVs! :-)
they must be relaying on there tool bar PR to sell thier services.
A year a go we did a test and generated a pr5 site in a couple of months with only one internal link and cleaver internal linking / optimisation on a one page site.
The trouble is PR was the first of these scores and they made it public, so everyone got hung up on their PR.
Yeah, like google has 1 score for your site and that's it. Duh. The smart people work for google. If, like me, you don't work for google, then anything we can imagine plus a whole lot more goes into a site score.
Paid linking sites work because anyone who wants to promote their site by spending money is serious and google accepts than and adds that into their calculations. Like we may or may not believe the Coke adds, but because they spend so much on advertising we acknowledge they are serious contenders.
Same thing.

"Why aren't there any Google jokes?"
Try, THIS.
I think what you meant to say is that "search rankings" are based on a keyword basis.
FIRST ONE SINCE APRIL 2007
Also, most of the blogs that were penalized over selling links have been restored to their former PR status.
There is an internal list at Google of blogs and sites that suspected of selling link. This list can be viewed by any member on their spam team and commented on

A visit in the referrer logs gave the whole thing away
HUGE DROP ON ALL SITES those who have interlinked heavily will see a drop
Check (Link check internal & External check too recommended)
http://www.linkvendor.com/seo-tools/outbound-li...
MY CONCLUSIONS: About PR Drop: possibilities
# Increase in exchange of links : INTERLINKING of various sites together
# Increase in irrelevant links & link farms
2 OPTIONS:
1) A page with PR4 and 5 outbound links is better than a link from a page with PR8 and 100 outbound links.
The more links there are on a page, the less PageRank value your page will receive from it
2) Or a link from a PR8 page that has lots of outbound links is worth more than a link from a PR4 page that has only a few outbound links.
FOR SOLUTIONS: check site http://seopravish.blogspot.com
VOTE,,,,,
My site went from PR3 to PR0, yet I still outrank many PR4 or PR5 sites. So for me it doesn't really matter. Throw your Google tool bar away and never look back. Who cares what Google thinks.
Honestly, who cares about your blog's page rank? You? Your loser best friend? Your lonely mother?
Seriously. How about getting a REAL job and freeing up cyberspace for something far more interesting.
Or if you are bothered about PR then.......
Place links on these sites. http://pagerank.me.uk or http://pagerank10.co.uk this will help your PR and can cost as little as £1
Many of the services of Google also need urgent update, is why Google prefers to buy to other companies of Internet.
That small finder that began many years ago very good, because only era of text, very fast and efficient, that antigüo AltaVista moved my, nowadays became a Giant.
But that has happened with the progress of his so promoted PageRank? By the sight it has not evolved in the same way, as much money and they have not managed to optimize it.
In summary the PageRank de Google or PR simply is a numerical value that it represents the importance that a page Web has in Internet, this value is obtained through the bonds that make other pages Web to your site. (it is a summary of the great roll of his operation) the PR has been that has not evolved as it would wish the user it, many webmasters astute position their Web in the first results search of Google and when we make a search as simple as the task of your primary son of the first results that we obtain is companies doing publicity to their products/services and nor to speak of the swindles that abound by Internet.
What happened with the quality of content? , What happened with the Google that invented an algorithm to benefit the searches from the users? Simply it turned towards the money of the publicity and grew like great company forgetting its roots.
As much it forgot its past that now cannot produce some own project, I buy to YouTube because GoogleVideos did not do competition to him.
Purchase technology of other projects Web because although it is certain that it sees future in them, same Google does not have it developed.
It must have given Google account of its own weakness that now has a Laboratory as they call to him for own projects. But and what has of their essence? To as much to arrived the weakness from the PageRank that now Google penalizes to the sites of high PR that sells links, or the case of the page of a well-known Alemana company that was penalized by unsuitable practices of positioning Web. Acting as Goliat is giving bad reputation him to Google.
To many webmasters is to them beneficial to work with Adsense, but victims of a repression feel, to the being directed by norms imposed by the greatest finder of history.
Now we asked ourselves, Who is making its work bad? Webmasters or the PageRank de Google? Although it is certain that webmasters are many bad, also are many more if they are good, that they include/understand that to give content of quality to the users it is more important that to fill to its pages Web of words that position them in the finders.
What is failing in the PageRank? As lack would claim to my grandmother… him to it to be more human, he is incredible that the heart of the finder, does not have the greater budget of investigation and development.
Hay Competition at this moment? Lamentably next as Yahoo and MSN do not approach which the user wishes and for that reason the Monopoly of Google almost is guaranteed.
Inevitably the users little by little could emigrate to another finder, as flock of doves, if this were more cash in the searches, but at the moment Google does not have competition, although personally I have seen some other finders with very interesting characteristics.
They already say: It does not have bad lasts one hundred years, nor body that resists it and in Internet the years are months…
