Google Drops my PR 4 site to PR 2?

    I thought this PR update was over.
    I was sitting comfortably at a PR 4, and as I check my site today, it's now a PR 2. I don't do any of that blackhat SEO, I don't sell text links, nothing like that.

    Why did my site drop TWO whole pageranks?

    In short, who knows? There are many items taken into consideration. My big site dropped from 5 to 4 for 'no apparent reason'. I do not do any blackhat SEO techniques, do not buy links, etc etc. It happens. Don't worry too much about the PR, just keep building your site.

    Wait a day or two, it might be a glitch. But like the person above said. I wouldn't worry so much about PR.

    You should worry about this instead:

    - did you rankings for keywords drop?
    - did you visitor traffic drop?

    If it didn't then who cares?

    do not worry much on your PR...maybe, as they said, its a glitch and eventually it will come back to its original value...focus more on important things than PR like driving traffic.

    Maybe some of your links are gone that eventually lead to PR drop..

    Hello,
    If you can a site with good content link it into a squidoo lense. I've lost pr thi yr due to the squidoo slap but my serp's have climbed dramatically giving first page position in a number of keywords for free.

    Pheewwww!!

    I just checked my sites and they had all been demoted to PR 0 :eek::eek:

    One from a PR6 (an old organic white hat site!!)

    but then I checked a load of other sites and they are all showing PR0 on these PR checking sites...

    The toolbar still tells the truth....

    and also these sites said ebay.com had PR0 as well so it must be another google f***up
