I have been reading the discussions on this matter in a number of different forums, and it seems to me, that it doesn't really matter if this was manual or algorithmic. It happened. Google said it would take action, and it did. Whether anyone likes it or not, link buying for page rank skews the results. More and more I see the little green (phallic symbol?) bar meaning less and less. I see a number of sites that have little or no pr showing up higher in the results, than sites with pr6 for the main keywords. I think links will have less significance, and page rank as it is now, will die with them. The thing that matters, is getting found. If this can be done without buying links and with no green on the screen, why would anyone care anymore? I am sure that there will continue to be folks buying and selling in this false economy, but it will be like the old story of the poor town where everyone survived by doing everyone else's laundry.
