    Hello,
    i sell links on my friends forum and he was droped from 5 to PR3 now. Wha to do whit advertisers? Should i get money back? The real PR is still same only toolbare is changed so the juice is good same as wase before, this site never sell link and now he sell 5-6 links in footer, because it is forum.
    For me it is hard to send money back because i have many fees whit this transfers and on the other site noone know what google will do and especialy if they buy link for 6-12 month, rank can drop minewhile.
    Uff that is my problem, what will you do if you will be penalized?
    thx

    I don't think you should reimburse any money. Then what would happen if your PR went back up? Then you'd have to ask for more money.

    What some websites do is put a disclaimer on their advertising page.

    Really when someone purchases advertising they know that PR is not a constant and it is possibly going to change. By prepaying for a longer period of time they are taking the risk that the PR may drop and they may eventually be overpaying. If they want to only pay for what they think the PR is worth, they would have to pay month to month and try to renegotiate the price for the following month.

    thx for reply i have same advice. If i buy link somewhere and pr drop i will not want money bacl, but it is here a little ...say problem and that is drop come few day about week after i start to selling links. And if some advertiser contact me i have to beat them and no money will send. They can think that i sell before Pr3 and i am liar. But again their problem if they dont check rank befor bought link(and i am sure they did).
    And other problem is still here, i can recieve bad feedback :)

    Moving forward, I would sell links, not PR4 links. The latter assumes that the PR is a constant and yet, people might be pissed if it drops.

    I would formulate a realistic plan on re-building the PR on the site so you can present it when challenged by someone for their money back.

    Perhaps you can offer them additional links in lieu of money back?

    Good luck
