One of my sites went from a PR4 to a PR0 last night, don't know what happened!?! My other sites stayed the same, but I have no idea what happened to my PR4? All other pages with PR in that domain went from PR2/PR3 down to PR0 or n/a.... This happening to anyone else?
Oops...looks like another google manual override. However, wait for sometime before making a conclusion.
Hmm, interesting, I am not "selling" ads on my site, but I do have some ads that I get paid for... what I mean by that, I don't have "Put Your Ad Here" or anything like that, but I do have text link ads that I get $ from.... I wonder if that has anything to do with it.... I wonder what constitutes artificial link building... I have submitted my sites to directories and such...
Guess what, selling text links are against the Google Webmaster Quality Guidelines. You site has been penalized most likely for selling text links, please review the below URLs. http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66356 http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66736
They started this in Nov\Dec 2007, so who knows what the actual time table is for the penalty. You can always remove the text links and advertisements that your selling them and submit a reinclusion request via Google Webmasters Central.
