These marketing tactics came as quite a surprise as Google dropped a swath of sites to PR 0 for selling sponsored posts with links on Pay Per Post back in late 2007.

Today Google.co.jp has had its page rank go from a PR 9 to a PR 5. Apparently being Google doesn’t do anything for you when Matt Cutts is on the job.
