What the..? Page Rank drop from 4 to 0!

I hope its temporary, it seems pretty suspicious.

Let us know if it comes back. Did your traffic change?

It may have dropped 10-15% in the last 3 months or so, but that's it.

i went from a 6 to a 0 about 8 months ago and never came back.... and my traffic has gone up if anything.

ignore it. PR is useless IMO

I've seen reports that there is some jumping around in Google right now with both PR and rankings. Hold tight, and keep us posted.

I agree with Brian, don't pay to much attention to PR, traffic is the statistics you should watch

AFAICS you are not alone. My forum pr 4->3 and I have seen other sites dropping as well. Like briansol implied: ignore it, visual pr is not that important. Unless you have used black hat SEO, you shouldn't worry about it.

A positive note is that other sites report the same. I'm sure it's an algorithm tweak.

Did you made any changes to your site in terms of DESIGN/ or HOSTING ??

Nope, I haven't made any changes in probably over a year.

On a positive(?) note, I noticed the same thing has happened to vbseo.com

Re: Positive Note

Yes - if they adjust the algorithm, and it applies to everyone then it's not a big deal.

Say for instance they were using a scale of 1 to 10 and you were ranked 8, and then decided to go to a scale of 1 to 5, and you got adjusted to 4. That's kind of the idea. The algorithm can change the numeric meaning, so a drop doesn't necessarily mean anything negative. Everyone got adjusted. 4 seems like it's less than 8. It is numerically less, but it's actual meaning in terms of SEO need not be a reduction at all.
