My web site went live in early August, and today on 11 datacenters my pagerank is showing 1/10 as opposed to N/A.

“Well, I am quite irritated with this update, I went from 5 to 3 and based upon what I have read, they are dropping the PR of sites that appear to have sold or bought links to/from other sites which is quite hypocritical for a search engine that pays sites via Adsense for links! I would say that most of us that have been around for more than two years (and possibly less time) are going to be dropped due to this and regardless of how important the PR is anymore, it is still plain wrong!”
I certainly hope I will be incorrect about this but for some reason, I don’t think so…
If pr doesn’t affect the serps, then what’s the point of pr?
I also wonder if blocking pr leaks via nofollow tags would help during the next pr update. There’s only one way to find out ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />
Link buying has obviously had a negative impact on the PR rating so I will not do this ever. Just old fashioned 2 way linking.
I have had many requests for 3 way linking but I turned them all down, this is the same as buying links IMO.
CPAYS dropped from a PR6 to a much lower PR3 (this is what they deserve if not less), negative comments and SE spamming must have left some damage.
Some eastablished websites dropped from a strong PR5 to a PR3 that must be quite frustrating.
But if the traffic does not drop I could not care less about the little green meter.
So keep on doing the right thing ask for a link and link back and check them regularly. Dead ends is bad news.

First of all it’s just a snapshot of what your page’s PR was at some point in the past, and even then it’s just a vague estimate. Google is constantly updating the PR of pages behind the scenes, and just because your toolbar PR was 5 a week ago and 3 today doesn’t mean that it changed overnight.
Google Adsense ads don’t pass PR, so I don’t see how that has anything at all to do with it.
And PageRank is one of at least 100 factors that determine where a page is ranking in the search engines. If you understand that the toolbar PR update has nothing to do with what your page’s actual PR is, then you won’t be surprised that this number has changed and your position in the SERP’s didn’t.
