I have about 20 PR4 sites that suddenly dropped PR. I've had these domain names for a while and they all survived the last PR update on January 1st. I'm not sure if this is just a glitch in Google's system or if this is real. Has anybody else noticed something similar with their sites?
On my blog, on every post page, including the home page, it's all down to pr 0. The home page used to be pr 3, and other pages ranged from pr 0-4??? Weird.
My PR hasn't changed but I just updated the PR for the sites in my directory and you are indeed correct. There were only about 2% of the sites that had an update but they were all really big updates. Most of the updates happened on sites with PR3 or above and they all were re-ranked at PR0, I did however notice that I lost ANOTHER 200 pages out of the index! It may just be a glitch or something...it has re-ranked a .gov - PR6 to PR0? who knows
Am seeing the same thing on some sites. A PR3 went to PR0 than came backup to PR3. Some more sites lost PR to become PR0.
I have noticed some funny things going on with 2 of my sites as well I had one site with 3 pr pages on it and now it only has one pr page.
I've not noticed anything unsual on any of my sites. Maybe a Google glitch. Have you checked to see if you get the same results across multiple data servers?
I ran a PR update for my directory and I saw some sites updating, some sites have their PR reduced and others have their PR increased. Its definitely an update of some sort because I ran the PR updater days after the last PR update in early January. Something is definitely going on.
Toolbar PR is updated pretty much every two weeks now. The major updates are the usual frequency - this has not changed, but the mini updates are very frequent.
O'm guessing you interlinked all your sites ? or used the same promotion techniques on each site, eg used same pages to put links to those sites, if so that's a bad thing, as if the sites you are using to promote yours drop then so do all yours, You should promote each one individually and not link them together either.
your guess doesn't even come close @ paulseo And you can quote me on that in relation to this recent pr glitch, which has nothing to do with SEO at all... some domains lose their PR for a few days, but they get them back in a week or two.... This temporary PR drop may be caused by a change in the WHOIS records, including nameserver changes. My source? My own documented reseach after buying and selling domains since 2007.
