    Did your site just get updated right now, or did you lose it a long time ago?

    Hello,
    You can have many backlinks with PR 0, but if you have not a strong PR4, PR3, you will lose the PR..

    In what time frame has this happened though?

    Advice given on here again and again is don't panic, wait and see if Google corrects itself.

    It could be something as simple as Google tinkering with the algo.

    If your SERPs are the same, then does it really matter if you have no PR?

    You have a canonical issue with the www and non-www version of your url and you are losing pr. Do a 301 permanent re-direct so that you are only using one version.

    I am totally unaware, how to do this 301 permanent re-direct, even i want to use only one version. Please also tell me which one is better without www. or the other one.

    Hello Sir,

    From a SEO standpoint, they are both equally the same. You should pick which one looks better for your site, whether it www.yoursite.com or http://yoursite.com, whichever one you like better, look wise, is fine.

    Then what you need to do, is create a .htaccess file in your root directory.

    If you want the www version to redirect to non www version use the code below.

    RewriteEngine on
    rewritecond %{http_host} ^www.YourSiteHere.com [nc]
    rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://YourSiteHere.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
    Code (markup):
    If you want the non www version, to direct to the www version, use the code below.

    RewriteEngine on
    rewritecond %{http_host} ^YourSiteHere.com [nc]
    rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.YourSiteHere.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
    Code (markup):
    If you need more help feel free to PM me, but you basically just pick which one you want, make the .htaccess file and put one of the codes above in it, and upload it to your servers root directory. (make sure you change YourSiteHere.com to your real website name)

    You want to do this with every website you own, as this could easily be the cause of the problem you are describing, Hope I helped.

    You can have 1000 new Pr 0 pages. If you send more links from the main page than you used to when you had PR 3, for sure your PR will decrease.

    Care about ranking
    Don't care about PR.

    Does it affect your ranking.

    Google is updating its ALGO. It may be a reason for your problem.

    Do not concentrate on PR try for SERP.

    It is my understanding that you should use whichever version that Google has indexed already and that is usually www.
