don't worry about page rank, worry about traffic and converting. IMHO a pr 2 might as well be a 0, both are very very low on the totem poll and easy to achive
i disagree with someone who says that PR is not important, PR is the most important to get job from advertiser, backlink can be develop with link exchange....actually i don't understand how to determine PR drop or increase.....there is no absolute formula...
lol, That is about backlinks. Don't worry, if you haven't done anything wrong then it would be back soon and probably increased something to PR3+
