If that is, you have a big problem. but i see you got your pagerank back by describing it to google, that's the best way to get it back.

At the time, I didn't think much of it, but looking back it was shortly after I became a Text Link Ads publisher. With the recent PR fiasco I decided to drop the program (it was only making me about $150 a month anyway), and just today (less than two weeks later), I noticed my site was back up to a 5. I sincerely doubt Google is following my site specifically (as in with a human being) since it's in such a non-techy industry that doesn't relate to SEO, internet marketing, or anything like that, so I believe they have some kind of automation in place to penalize people using TLA code or perhaps just the term "sponsored links." I would like to add that in the whole year, my traffic from Google was never affected (in fact increased as I worked to grow the site), so for now at least it seems the PR ding is just about PR and trying to make your site less attractive to people who buy links for PR. I've decided, however, to just stay away from paid links for the time being. If I do take money for a link in the future, I'll probably do it "under the table" so to speak. This seems dishonest to my readers, however, so I'm unlikely to do it at all. It is a shame that Google has so much power to influence but at the same time, too much of my money comes from Google for me to risk losing it. ~Annie My home improvement blog was dropped from a 5 to a 4 over a year ago.

One thing I have pulled out from this article is that it is not Google that gives power to PageRank - it is the people that care about it as a metric. All those companies that have built pricing structures around PR and all those rankings lists that use PR in their algorithms and all those people who worry about it - they are the people who give power to it. Of course, it's just easier for everyone to blame Google isn't it. I'm in a somewhat cosy position of having such a new blog that it is unranked so I've nevr had to care so I dont have any bad habits to unlearn.

TBPR has been slagged for so long now, it's hard to take it seriously. For anyone not trying to game the search engines, the approach doesn't vary: (i) build quality content that people, not search engines, want to read; (ii) meta it correctly, so the search engines can at least try to understand what each page is about; and (iii) build links to (and from) others within your marketspace who don't compete with you. If you do want to game them, there are much better ways to generate quality one-way links than buying them. Meh.

Perhaps Google reevaulated the actual scale of page rank, and it takes more to be a PR 7, and people moved down as a result. Personally, I don't really care. I moved down a while ago and figured that even though my site traffic has been increasing by quite a bit my "ranks" have been going down, so I would not worry about them unless I really needed to broker an advertising sale.
