    Hi
    Since moving to Dreamhost around 7 months ago, All my sites ( around 7 in total) has lost PR.

    I have made no changes to them at all. Instead i have done article submission for them and it has increase my backlink counts.

    Any anyone had similar experience?

    Thanks

    If all the sites have the same IP address (shared hosting) then the PR loss is from the crosslinking between the sites. Since crosslinking will give you no PR increase, I would recommend that you remove all of the cross linking for now. Wait 6 months for the penalty to be removed and then add only 1 link from the home page of the 6 least important to the most important site. But do not add links back to the othe six. This is "reciprocal linking" and Google is busting everyone now for this.

    cross linking WILL give you PR increase. whether it will help on the SERP ranking or not is a different question, but in terms of PR, it will help.

    if you have a site and build backlinks to the main page only, how do the internal pages get PR? it is due to the link from main page

    @ OP, your changing host ot crosslinking is not the reason u lost PR. do some research and see how many backlinks u had before and how many u have now. also try to find out whether you lost any good PR backlink or not

    Thanks for your reply guys. Because i am on dreamhost, most of my site has different Ip address.
    My overall SERP has increased and my backlinks has increased as well but it might be the case that i have lost high PR backlink
