    Can anyone help me figure out why?
    this is my site www.jrdtech.net it was a 2, was predicted to become a 4....but its now a zero. Can't figure out what went wrong, I don't do blackhat I just post in directories, do stumble exchange, post my url in forum sigs etc, post ads in craiglist, facebook, myspace, adwords, etc.

    My backlinks did increase though from 3 to 23 link:http://www.jrdtech.net/

    I guess I can take consolation that serps on a SH*T load of my keywords have made it into the top 5.

    BUt I'm really bummed that I got knocked down to a zero....can anyone take a look and see if they can guess why? thanks

    I have backlinks from several pr 4 sites a few pr 3 and 2. the pagerank predictor from iwebtools gives my a pr of 4 with an 87% accuracy!!

    Can anyone look at my site / backlinks and see if theres anything against the rules?

    As i earlier said nobody knows what google doing.

    BTW never rely on iwebtools or any other PR predictor tools because they are just for fun nothing else.

    DON.

    I'm not sure if this update is complete. Many of my new sites that had no pr got pr on inner pages and pr 0 for homepage. Somethings up with that.

    Hopefully your homepage pr will increase when this update is completed.

    I have to confirm similar experience with some of my sites. While regular update and increase always takes Google 3+ months or so, with a sudden drop to 0 they seem to be much more flexible. :]

    one of my site has become
    / pr0
    /index.php pr2
    one internal page pr3
    another internal page pr1

    This site has many backlinks ..... while there is another one for which i never did any seo and it became pr4 straightway


    I am laughing and guessing at what google is trying to do with pr

    Optimize your internal linking structure to point to your domain instead of index.php. That will push more pagerank to your domain.

    Don't worry, it might be temporary thing during the update. Even if it isn't, you need not worry as long as your serps are good.

    As long as you've improved on your SERPs, I dont think you should pay too much attention to your PR.

    Continue building links and I'm sure you'll not only get back your PR but further improve on your rankings.

    I got a site with more than 1000+ links, Google still has not given it any PR. Still remains at PR0 since the last update. I hope Google will notice this site.

    If he changes any part of that link with a say a mod_rewrite for SEO friendly urls. The PR will be gone. lol
    Those urls suck, what is if was PR5? What you wanted to change CMS.
    you would lose all the PR inner pages. Subdirectories are better like if it was yoursite.com/contact/
    The index.php or .html would have the pr and could change that to anything your want easily...
