Did someone also loose the PR last week?

I have downgrade my PR the last 13th of October from PR4 to Pr3 (6 months before I had PR5!)

But suddenly the last days the PR is now 0!

Did someone also get this strange change...What can be the reasons? I havent made any radical change and also have deleted some links I had.

Any clue?

 

PR drops are assumed to be related to Google's crackdown on text link sellers, it also effects the buyers because the selling websites no longer pass on pagerank to outbound links. This effected sites not even buying text links because their backlinks lost pagerank.

 

You know a way to bring the PR back beside to dont sell anymore links?

 

If you think that you didn't do anything that will surely hurt your site, then maybe its just a PR glitch which is really happening and currently experiencing by many sites. If its a glitch, then it will come back to its original value in time.

 

One of my sites lost all of its PR sitewide, it was not a link selling site either.

What are you using to check your PR? a lot of PR checking sites have stopped working recently, the google toolbar seems to be the only reliable one to use at the moment.

Does your site thats lost its PR still have pages indexed? does it still appear in the SERP's ?

 

yep, one of my sites dropped. But its cause i sold all the text links. So im gonna change it to a blog site instead.

 

I am seeing these changes as well, but they only apply to sites that are PR3 or less

 

one of my freind was earning from ppp and tla too, but he lost his pr4 site last week.. and that was totally ridiclious..

wonder if google update us, whether they changing algos or its just glitch ( i hope it is ) or its really something nasty shit update...

 

Yes, get quality backlinks that don't sell text links

 

I doubt it is a glitch, the site probably had backlinks to sites that were buying or selling text links, this is the WWW and remember all sites are linked together, you should know how to pagerank system works.

 

I read a similar thread here at DP a few days back. That site also dropped to PR 0 in the update last week. But none of my sites showed any drop.

 

Mine either.

 

I used checkpagerank dot net. And also show it on the toolbar...I hope its only for a few days...

 

my site had PR2 which also dropped to 0

 

I would bet some googler simply visited this forum to look for Dp members, can't be too hard with most displaying almost all their sites in the sigs.

 

Yes Maybe people don't think about the "simple" ways they can get caught.

 

Well I was fortunate here by one of my friend's site lost its PR. On last PR update it went down to PR 2 from PR4 and then last week it became 0. This was unfortunate.

 

no updates for me...

 

Seems like Google is lately after PPP (Pay per Post) aka review sites. Many sites have dropped from whatever PR they used to have to PR0 (recent example bloggingexperiment.com last night was PR4 today PR0 unfortunately).

 

My index stayed PR3, but one PR2 dropped to 0, another PR2 dropped to PR1 - There were no text links and low outbound link count.
