PR value and links to porn sites

Category: Links and Linking — TLA @ 8:29 am

Yesterday I was checking  here and noticed the PR was grayed out in the google bar.  Sorta freaked me out because I hadn’t done anything to cause PR to drop. So I looked for anything that might have caused it.

Didn’t really find anything wrong or any reason for it. I haven’t linked to any bad neighborhoods , well, not anything but porn sites. Considering this is a porn site linking to another porn site like tiny tits pictures or nude teens porn neither of those would be considered bad neighborhoods when linked to from askmrporn.com.

So I could find no real reason for the PR going from 2 to being grayed out. Oh, and it wsn’t a site wide thing because there are other pages on this domain that still had PR.

Now there’s a misconception about people linking to you and the thinking is google will penalize you for incoming links from bad neighborhoods. That’s not true at all.  You will never get penalized for links to your site from a bad neighborhood.

However if you have a non porn site and you link to a porn site you could get a penalty from the search engines because you are linking to a bad hood.  I get lots of links from people trying to cause me problems but what they don’t understand is as long as I don’t give a recip or link to something even worse than legal porn the site is not going to get a penalty.

The search engine theory being you can’t control who links to you but you can control who you link to. MOF, the idiots who link to this site or any other of my sites, from even worse than legal porn sites, think they are hurting the site or costing me money.

Fact is they aren’t. Fact is google counts it as an incoming link and even passes PR along from it. Some times letting people play out thier own stupidity can help you. I find that ironic, don’t you.

Why the PR was grayed out I have no clue. Might have been the data center the site was drawing from was updating or any of a dozen other reasons. Point is when you have an old site that has never been banned don’t freak out when your PR bar goes gray for a day or two.

Don’t change anything and don’t worry about it for at least 3 days. If it doesn’t come back to the original or at least white then start to find out what happened or if a change you made may have caused it.
