Google PR inconsistancey

    I have a site which has just lost its PR on the homepage, yet all the other pages in the site retain their PR.

    I thought the PR was a trickle down affair through the structure of the site. Has anyone else seen an instanceof this?

    This same thing happened to me on one of my sites two updates ago and the PR promptly returned at the last update.

    I am not sure if it was a glitch or not. In my case it went from a 5 to a 0 then back to a 5

    There was no negative changes in the SERPs during that time

    My PR disappeared from the homepage for a while after this last update. It returned and had no effect on serps.

    I've noticed this happening when doing 301-redirect, and I'm crossing my fingers that it will go back again at the next pr-update.

    Even spookier, I have a PR0 on my website about Danish "bogholderi" (bookkeeping) - except when I go there from my "view profile" on dp-forum where I can click on my website and get a PR3.

    I wish I could dig up a rational explenation for this one...

    I am also doing the 301 redirect thing to remove a secondary domain, but the PR loss happened before I started on it. I have fingers and legs crossed.

    I'm taking a lot of comfort in the fact that others have had the same situation, and have come through it ok.

    The annoying thing is that back link measuring tools and ranking tools (specifically dp) don't work through this period.

    You're right about that chatgun... What I don't understand is that both links get redirected to the same address which is

    http://www.bogholderiet.frac.dk/bogfoering.php

    and yet PR on the landing url is different when coming from one or the other link... hrmm?

    btw thx for noticing that diference. It obviously is what causes the PR to differ.
