    Hi all.
    I have built a web-site to advertise my holiday gites in France. I began in the latter part of last year. At the first indexing my home page obtained a 1/10PR. Then in the next indexing the majority of my other pages obtained 3/10PR but my homepage remained at 1/10. During the latest indexing, my home page has remained at 1/10, but all my other pages have dropped to 0/10!:( Also I have two bloggers, one a 'spirit' & one a 'spot'. Both obtained 2/10PR but in the latest index the 'spot' lost its ranking. I have a mate who had 4/10 on all his pages before the latest index and his has dropped to 3/10 on many pages.

    First question:Can anyone explain why (yes I know it may be difficult without interrogating my sites) but I would be interested to know if Google have 'moved the goal posts!

    Second question: My site has at least 30 backward links, two of them are from my blogs. Google only picks up 4 of them and not my the ones from my bloggers. My mate has upward of 100 and Google only picks up about 40. can anyone explain please?

    Final request - if anyone is kind enough to reply, please do not use too much 'jargon' I really need 'laymans terms' otherwise it will go straight over my head.

    Thank You in anticipation. PaulC

    My original post was my first ever on this forum. I have used many other web-forums, but this is the first that has returned a 'nil reponse'!
    Oh well, thanks anyway to those who have bothered to read
