Page rank question

    Ok, I know everyone says PR doesn't matter but I still have one question. I only ask for sponsored reviews, not for traffic or links or to feel better or worse about the situation at hand. So here it is.

    I use blogger and publish to my url (http://www.goodnightmoonfuton.com/blog/), as of the last update the pr for my url (http://www.goodnightmoonfuton.com/blog/) dropped to zero, but the blogspot page (http://futonblog.blogspot.com) stayed at a pr2. The URL was a pr2 until yesterday.

    My question is, should the PR be transfered to my url or is it normal for the PR to stay at the first page?

    What do you think?

    PR is attched to the domain name.

    So, after the last update, the pr on the url went down, but the blogspot stayed the same. Am I right in assuming that's because of links to the blogger or could I be penalized for sponsored reviews on my blog?

    What do you think?

    Thanks,

    Matt

    On this site(http://www.goodnightmoonfuton.com/blog/) you had PR greater than zero? And now its down to zero?

    It is very possible that you have been penalized for sponsored reviews. Especially if you have mentioned the word "sponsored" within your posts.

    You have paid reviews on which site?

    The URL (http://www.goodnightmoonfuton.com/blog/) has paid reviews on the blog. But, I've seen tons of blogs with paid reviews on their site and they're PR hasn't changed. Could paid reviews effect my PR?

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Well, Since PR seem to be less effect factors. My site with low PR seem to be better than before.

    Paid review can affect your PR. I lost PR3 on a sports blog because of paid reviews. If they dont restore it till the next update its lost.

    Paid reviews can have a negative affect on your page rank if
    google notices it. If you've seen many pages with paid reviews
    which have not been affected, maybe google isn't aware of
    what they are doing.

    No, you can't transfer the PR. Using Blogspot is not very smart because you can't even make a proper redirect if you need to.

    Yeah, but with 400 - 500 posts I don't want to bail on it. Is is possible to import posts from blogger to wordpress? I would be very interested in switching over if it were.
