Google Bowled = PageRank 0

Jun 9, 2005 - 9:45 am 3 by

Today I found a new (new to me) term used at WebmasterWorld. The member who only has 16 posts at WebmasterWorld noticed that he has a PageRank that was grey. He was pretty upset that his useful, unique, and even popular Web site received such discredit from the Google PageRank formula. So this member started a thread named Cool - I've been Google Bowled.

The PageRank values came back a few hours later but that is not my point. I like the term and I thought some of you might like the term, Google Bowled, who knows, maybe it will catch on.
