A Forgiving Google?

Back in November, Google apparently smacked several blogs and websites for that had paid links. Many lost all of their PR while others reported losing as much as 2. Has Google forgiven those of their past transgressions and have become to restore their lost PageRank?

Many are reporting that their PageRank has returned with the latest Google dance. Apparently it is not full Page Rank it was prior to November, but it’s a start. But is the return of PageRank to some websites a a peace offering from Google or just a fluke?

I doubt Google has changed their stance when it comes to paid links that do not use the nofollow tag. Here are my thoughts. When Google took away PR, that they might have just reset it to zero, so naturally after a few months and a couple of PR updates, those websites will organically gain back PR. I’m not sure if that is their plan or if Google will just reset it back to zero. I guess time will tell.
