It'll take a while for Google to get it exactly right. Yes, this change was more of a general penalty for sites that seemed to be gaming the page rank system than a penalty specific to John’s site.

John Chow was at PR 7. But even ProBlogger.net got swatted by Google on this re-ranking - down to PR4 as well. But it looks like he's appealed it - I've got some of the Google data centers registering PR6 for him. I just checked. John Chow was at PR 7.

His johnchow.com is now PR4. It was 6 and I think when you wrote this it might have been PR7. Looks like John Chow has pissed off Google. His johnchow.com is now PR4.

Most of the Internet marketing gurus make their money from that "make money online" crowd, not from marketing to the regular public. That’s probably not too far from the truth!

They were doing this to check their positions in the search engine, not to search for other sites (unless they were checking out the competition). There were so many make money online bloggers checking their SEO placements, that the keywords became more valuable. It became a big feedback loop. The result was a whole universe of make money online bloggers trying to make money from each other, driving up the value of the keywords in an organic fashion. It struck me as funny. Sort of an inside-out Bertrand Russell paradox. Everyone is trying to form a club with everyone but himself as a member. Juggling Frogs wrote:

Instead, post mini-reviews of the sites that review you, one to a post. This would make it more difficult to tell that it's a review scheme.

You said to go for competitive words, does this mean changing the word entirely or just rephrasing it? So, if I were to run something like this, would it be better to switch up on the keywords?
