Our tool pr went from a 3 to 0 and we dont play any games? But we are still ranked well in the serps. Maybe next April fools day Google should give its entire index a tool bar pr 10.
Agreed this is just them penalizing your PR for whatever they found that was against there terms/guidelines sponsored links (not using no follow on them) or whatever it was that caused it in the first place. Fix whatever you did and do a reconsideration request fully detailing what you did to correct the problem, and maybe by the next update it will get restored. thx M1
How often do they update the PR on Google? I have a PR1 site and it's been like this for a long time, like 7 months or so.
When SE's add or delete content from their indexes, people will see their ranking fall, and often some will see an increase. Datacenters are reset manually, and sometimes automatically after a crawl. There's really nothing you can do about it. When my pages fall in the SErp's, i update my meta tags, re-write the content a bit, and ping, and i'm right back up there.
So far people only seem to be mentioning their PR being lowered a couple of days ago, I haven't heard anyone say that theirs rose. Perhaps a Google smack is in progress?
