    You've got 15,000+ inlinks, but a lot of them are from the same sites. If the pageranks of any of these sites dropped, your's would too.

    As long as you are still getting increased traffic and subscribers, don't worry about it too much. Pagerank is not the most important aspect of SEO.

    Thats real interesting ! Unexpected. From 3200 BL, most of them PR4,5,6 -> PR 3 !
    Or is just a temp situation, or G going crazy !

    But if we look at link:hiswebsite , G see just 638 BL`s. So, the rest are ignored? Maybe that blog (andyabramson) gaved you a penalty? (too many links from that website)

    Hmmmm.....never saw that !

    dont forget that whilst pr is mainly based on the number if incoming links, it is also heavily based on the QUALITY of the incoming links. the sites have to relate to your site in someway. for example if your site was about computers and a guy with an ice cream shop linked to you, that link wouldnt be given as much quality rating as a guy with a computer website wanting to link to you.

    you always want to obtain quality incoming links. its quality over quantity in this game.

    Well if you have traffic growing, that means your other keywords are working, you have somewhere lost track of your main keyword, once again go and build some backlinks based on your primary keyword, pr is generally originating from your primary keyword and its serps in SEs,, but pr hardly matters except for webmasters and SEOs looking to buy links

    I have seen some sites' PR decreased recently as well. However, you do not need to worry if your traffic is growing :) Just watch out for the ranking and try to optimize your site if your ranking dips further..
