Why does weight fluctuate so much?

    I'm not trying to harp on this subjuct, but over the past 2 months, I have logged into my acct. and found a weight of 0, but it still says that the site has validated. (usually with yesterday's date) I click on Validate/Update and the weight jumps back up. Today I logged in and I have 2500 weight, down from 14000. Revalidating doesn't change it, it stays around 2400/2500. The site stats are the same according to the Google API (pages in URL, BLs) and PR has recently jumped up for the homepage (and weight went from 10000 to 14000). I have not changed anything on the site as far as #ads per page or any other factors (according to the faq) that could affect weight, such as other advertising on the pages).

    I'm not complaining (Shawn you're doing great), I'm just wondering if this is an isolated case, and if anyone has any insight.

    Yeah, I just saw it. What I had done was go directly to the forum from the coop page without looking at the forums. Sorry. :(

    Weight going to 0 happens to everybody. It is a Google API problem that pops up every few weeks. Other than last night (after Shawn made the weight changes and for a few minutes all validations went to 0), I haven't seen widespread 0 weights in several weeks, so I think this problem has possibly been fixed.
