It has come to light over the past week or so that Google.co.jp has been caught paying bloggers to write about them to help improve their hold in the Japanese market as Yahoo are strong in Japan.
Now, as we know Google does not like link buying and has penalized sites for doing this with search ranking penalties.
To my amazement and to be honest this made me giggle, they have given themselves a PageRank penalty for link buying!
The site was previously a PR9 and now is a PR5, I don’t think it will have any real effect but certainly won’t do them any harm.
