Welcome GoogleGuy,

It's great to have a rep from the best search engine :).

There's one issue that I know a lot of us have been talking about lately and that is the sudden drop in pagerank of a number of sites, as well as seeing the rankings drop down several hundred spots for sites that previously did very well.

Was there a big algo change, or are sites being penalized when it appears that there are too many links being traded between sites of similar content?

Thanks for joining us here at wmw!
