A lot of people know it. Some blogged about it. Matt Cutts himself confirmed it.
Google hates paid links.
But our site is a testament to how Google particularly dislikes the paid text advertising program Text Link Ads or TLA.
PinoyMoneyTalk.com used to have a PR of 4 prior to the Google PageRank chaos that engulfed the blogosphere in late October last year. The commotion stems from Google ‘s move to slap sites that supposedly sold links with a PageRank penalty. This site, along with several other sites, lost 2 PRs. That is, our PR4 became PR2.
