Google Still Chewing On The Chow?
Just about anyone knows the love-hate relation Google has with John Chow, our all time favorite blogging moo-gul. He got bitch slapped because of his review link back batch a while ago, not even ranking first place for his name anymore. It looks that he just got slapped again because Google seems to have taken down the Chow’s precious page rank 6 status and gave him a 5!
Some people have already been speculating these events and even said that we’re taking the Big Beef’s pagerank 6 but so far we’re still at zero. One thing that’s for sure is that the pagerank updates are finally starting after the longest period between updates. Obviously this isn’t that big of a deal for Chow, who’s earnings will most likely top last months $17k again but it’ll probably hit him where it hurts the most, not his wallet but his pride 
So what do you guys think? What page rank will Google give us for Christmas?

I’d say at least a PR4 for you cows
I’ve got you predicted at a strong 5, possibly a 6 depending on which preview tool you use. The same tool that had John Chow at a 5 also had you at a 6 so you might be in for a nice surprise!
I’d be happy with just about anything. I don’t have any page rank. *L*
I agree with number 2…a 5 for sure, possibly a 6. Hec, even my Cowboy’s Wife blog was predicted a strong 4 possible 5:)
5
You will get a 6 Mr Moo
, I am also hoping for a 6 but may get a 5 
i would say that due to Google’s latest changes you’ll rank lower then you expect,
if i have to guess i’ll say PR 4.
well google is pretty much redoing the pagerank thingy I think, they seem to not like paid links, so your site won’t get any better treatment than chow.
They might introduce a new negative rank, pumping you down to -1.
Or you can get the 5-6, hopefully you’ll get the latter.
but the funny thing with john chow’s blog was, I did a pagerank prediction on the tools out on the net, and it said 5, I thought the system was shitty as he already had 6. But hey I guess they work after all, so I should be getting a nice 4.
4 at least.
that is if the google performs any web wide update, they might just be punishing all the sites they do not like, and do not update all.
I have been checking a few blogs over the last few weeks using the iwebtool and John chows was showing a predicted 5, whilst the cows had been showing a predicted 6.
[...] JohnCow’s [...]
Why is John Chow the only blog to get updated?
Just like Bobmeetsworld.com: A 1 for the homepage and all the inner pages get a 5.
How does he go down in PR and supposedly the PR hasn’t been updated. Very interesting, I think i’m going to have to do some research.
Not even a PR1….yet but by the end of this year maybe a PR3
Holy Cow!
Mew
It would be hilarious if the Cow got a higher rank than the Chow.
I guess the cow will only get a 4.
There is definetly an update going on, and I don’t think John Chow has been penalised, I think google have changed the pagerank system.
I have just checked another blog which I knew was a 6 and it has now changed to a 5.
knowing my luck I will get a -1
Damn thats gotta hurt! I’d be happy with a PR of 3
most probably PR5 for the cow … but it would be fun to see cow get a 6, higher than johnchow himself …
cheers
[...] There’s been some reports from webmasters that their PageRank has been updated already (within the last few days), but nothing is for sure. What I do know is that my site (the one you’re reading) has a PR1. Hey, at least I’m not at zero like someone I know. [...]
John Cow deserves a 5 at least but it would be better if it is a 6. No doubt.
@browie
Google might have started the PR Update
@ Joyce
They have started it
, I have seen quite a few tech sites change, for example Engadget was at 7 yesterday they are now showing an 8.
Lets hope they update the rest of us lowly bloggers soon
If this is true and google in fact did lower his pr than that is kinda good news for the rest of us because it could mean that they still plan on using pr.
it would hurt John Chow more or less, actually his PR should be lower than 5 as he don’t even rank for his own name.
If Google indeed manually update his pr, that should be 3 or 2
[...] It’s not often that people start talking about a drop in page rank as big news. Well, in the domain of the Make Money Online community, the latest news is that John Chow, our Chinese Canadian friend who is making money online (and lots of it at that) has dropped a Page Rank from 6 to 5. This was first announced on The Cows. [...]
I like that “Milking the internet” thing!
[...] though he won an iPod, things are looking down for John Chow. It looks like his PageRank will be dropping from 6 to 5. The cow, on the other hand is likely going to be getting a 6 and they are also starting a [...]
But John is slapping Google too. He got rid of Adsense and proved that he earned more. But I guess it is worse when a search engine slaps him. Ouch!
Google has reached its peak and it is only a matter of years until a superior alternative appears on the scene - it may take a while to eclipse Google, but it will happen.
At least it doesn’t look like it created a dent in his September earnings.
I’m waiting for Google Prage Rank update. I hope it’ll going up
I agree with number 2…a 5 for sure, possibly a 6. Hec, even my Cowboy's Wife blog was predicted a strong 4 possible 5:)
