Now Trigami even took a stand on the pagerank decreases contingent on Trigami posts via email to all members. It seems that Google really interprets the links in Trigami posts as bought links and that these links lead on to penalisation. The blogosphere is already reporting on that busily.

That’s what Trigami says (free translation):

The problem:
Google declared war on bought links which are not marked as machine-readable (e.g. with a “nofollow” attribute) and therefore affect the search results. It may be assumed that links in trigami reviews are classified as paid links by Google. That can implicate that trigami bloggers could be penalised by Google.

Our consequences:
a) Update of our marking:
We put the “nofollow” attribute on all links of our obligatory marking already on 25th October 2007. As these links are necessary and forced by us, we should have used the “nofollow” attribute from the beginning on. This was a mistake, and we now corrected it. We warmly recommend that you update the trigami markings in all of your former recensions, i.e. to put the “nofollow” attribute on all links inside the marking.

b) We recommend the consequent usage of “nofollow”:
We recommend the consequent usage of the “nofollow” attribute on all links in trigami recensions. Explanation: With this trigami explicitly stands aloof from unmarked paid links and is therewith 100% Google-guidelines-compliant. According to the Google guidelines, penalisations are impossible when the “nofollow” attribute is used consequently.

What do we recommend to bloggers who got a PageRank zero?
In these cases we recommend you to put the “nofollow” attribute on all links in trigami posts and to request reconsideration of your website. According to Google this should solve the problem 100%. You can put in the request here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/reinclusion?hl=de
