Can PR go down?

can PR go down? JW. I think it can. I'm new to this PR thing

 

Yes, one of my sites fluctuates between 3, 4, and 5

 

Of course. When the links to your site (page) decrease, or when the PR of pages linking to your site decrease, or when the pages with links to your site increase the outbound links, or ...

 

Sites can go up or down. If the sites linking to you lose some of their PR or they remove your link or Google discounts the value of the link, you will lose PR. That is the reason that you need to be always building up your back links.

 

Don't forget payed links which are removed from google index, it lowers pagerank too.

 

Yes, if you lose backlinks your PR will go down. That's easy

 

i answer yes yes yes. try and locate stable back links but searching out where your competitors have theirs or atleast thats what i do

 

Unless you mean PR leaking out

 

building links is really useful if you want to get high PR, page rank is not stable it goes up and then goes down

 

try to focus on backlinks more as the others said.

 

It can go down. If you keep up your efforts, there should be no reason for it to go down though

 

Certainly,if the backlink is littler and the quality is flaw.The pr will down!

 

Depends on the quality of backlink and how well you organize it.

 

My site at PR 3 for 2 years then last 3 months drop at PR2 then suddenly this month i got my PR3 back..so the answer is YES.

 

Ok so 12 people replied with YES

Does anyone else want to say YES?

 

YES, most definitely!

 

yes.. If you do not maintained the inbound links and then to decrease the incoming links then PR is going down. PR depends only inbound and outbound links

 

Marlov is right

 

yes my friend's site down his pr from 5 to 4.

 

Don't bother with PR is just a number nothing more

Doesn't mean traffic or higher traffic

Rankings is all that mather
