Yes - over 18 months old post and interesting to see how many sites have been affected and many people annoyed. PR is still being dropped by Google for many sites.

It can affect the ability of a page to pass PageRank, both internally and externally which can have a drastic effect on internal site structure

Ive seen Tristar web design go from 7 - 4 and the same for SEround table. its usually due to advertising or selling a large quantity. I don't think it effects your domain authority tho..

Google has already changed the blogosphere a lot, I don't want them to do that again. Thank you for the compilation. Many of the bloggers have regained their pagerank by now, but there are quiet a few you haven't.

I think pagerank is highly unpredictable, and regardless of backlinks, it can still vary greatly.

One of my sites is PR2, with thousands of relevant PR3/4/5 links and got a PR2 last update, another site with 100-ish links of lower PR got a PR4.

So I dont worry too much, just keep working on SEO and getting good relevant links

I have never bought links before but one of my sites went from PR4 to PR 2. But it is still ranking number 1 in Google SERPs for my keyword, and my traffic is increasing!!

The honest truth is I noted my PR out of curiousity and not an over-riding need to increase it.

I suppose for internet marketers selling links on their blogs, page rank is important as the cost of the links is tied in to this

For the rest of us who monetize our sites via adsense and affiliate links, i wonder if page rank is so important?

One of your earlier commenters stated that PR 3 is the new PR 5, which really has me wondering; because, prior to the recent Google update, the iWebtool page rank prediction tool predicted that my Writer's Notes blog would be a PR 5 after the update, based on the number of backlinks to it, and it came in at PR 3 instead. Hmmmmm...interesting coincidence!

The latest moves on the PR are really to be scared about. I see many changes in the old algo. Maybe that is the reason, to change the way the algorithm calculates the PR now in order to prevent sites involved in link farming networks to gain PR. Yet, I have still seen many of those link farming sites getting high PR and good quality sites with 0 PR.

That may be taken as a problem. Still I am sure Google is still working on this.

Kind regards,

Gawd, mine had gone to N/A too, I hate the fact that they have to reduce our PR's just because we monetize our blogs. What's the catch anyway? They do the same thing, too I guess on their 'other' websites perhaps. Damnn, it makes me go all crazy. :(

i never sold a link from my site ucables.com, but this summer i put a link to my new girlffriend website about real estate: ibizaloft.com to help her to get some traffic and from october i lost my pagerank from 5 to 0.
i have send some messages to google to reconsider my site, but i have not received any response after 2 months. My traffic decreased 20% and continue decreasing. I have removed this link already from my site.
I think google should try at least to contact with owner before to do this type of action.
Why not decrease rank of payed links from adsense too?
Some years ago, when google was created we love google because, all service that offers was free, and contributed to the original internet spirit to share all, with easy and simple way.
As in the real life google is corrupted and bad directed for the money.
Sorry my bad english i hope you can understand me.

Happy Xmas!
