I noticed a couple of days ago that I did not have a page rank any longer. This sucks!
What in the world happen? Have anyone ever lost their google pagerank? If so, what happen? Did you get it back? How did you fix the issue....
HELP!!!
My page is cached, I do have TON of backlinks but they are not showing in google.

are you do paid posting?-
Not all of my post are paid, only some. A very few actually.

did the PPP have you put any code into your blog? If google recognized it for what it was then there is nothing you can do to save yourself other than remove it and wait for the next public update.
-
Okay, I guess i will remove all of the tracking stuff and see where it gets me. Thanks!

maybe an update?-
the one thing i have done recently was updated to the most recent version of wordpress (???)

Google Webmaster Tools will allow you to submit a sitemap. They talk you through it. Get integrated there. Once in, there is a link to request reconsideration. I recommend you do that. It takes a while but they do often restore people. It is a machine that makes decisions but when you ask for reconsideration real people look at your site. I've written a series on PageRank, losing it, getting it back. Perhaps it will help you some:

While Webmaster tools will let you do a great many things if you run a wordpress blog all you need is the google xml sitemap generator www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generat... This will rebuild your sitemap everytime you update and notify google, microsoft, and yahoo. I think it now covers ask.com as well.

Happened to my blog too. I had a pagerank of 2 and then lost it. But I found out in the process that it is different for different data centers. I wrote a little write up on this too here: www.thinknearn.com/blogs/2008/10/19/pagerank-checker-tools-multi-data-cente...
Some of the data centers were still showing 2 and other were not. The tools I mentioned in my post helped me find the right PR.-
thanks!

So sad...
I'm proud that i never lost my page rank.. becausr its PR0 -
I had the same case with you. I lose my page rank on sept '08 but I have it back.
Page rank may lost or drop if you have popup on you site or trying to get instant traffic
my blog is ekydakka.blogspot.com
and this is my other blog freemasterdownload.blogspot.com -
i never got a pr -
You have to put "nofollow" code to your paid posts, or delete those posts.
If you have to request reconsideration, I guess you have to stop accepting paid posts that forces you NOT to use "nofollow" links. -
You must not use "nofollow" on paid posts. You are paid for your PR, not for your writing. When you accept money for posts that link to blogs that pay you, you are selling your PR, not your post. Are bloggers this delusional? Who else thinks that advertisers pay you for writing about them? raise your hand........ -
@ModelElaine
You are right about advertisers wanting PR; however, there are some that want to take advantage of traffic instead of PR (check SocialSpark, all paid posts are "nofollow" links) and there are also a lot of advertisers that want PR, good Alexa and good blog content.
On older posts, it is still valid to remove those paid posts or put "nofollow" code, after those paid services paid you out to write those topics. -
There are plenty of other very good paid post sites. What Google gigs you on is not the paid post it is the tracking data in your blog that they nail you for. Without the tracking data they have no way of telling whether a blog does paid posting or not. A link is just a link and Google can't tell one way or another. For example on one of my blogs I paid $100 to do a thousand word post about an association I belong to. Google can't tell whether or not that link is paid or not, especially because I already had two links to their site on other pages. Google just assume the owner of a PR 5 blog has something to say about that group or the PR 2 site. Don't give google's algorithm any more credit than it deserves. It has complex behavior routines but it isn't an all knowing omnipotent intelligence.

I had worked up to a PR2 but I'm back to a PR0. The main thing I did differently is that I stopped dropping on entrecard. I was getting 100 - 150 visitors from entrecard drops and ads daily. Some, a very small percentage, but some people stayed long enough to post comments. That is the only thing I can think of that I did differently.-
Entrecard has nothing to do with PR - only traffic. One of my blogs is PR1, and is doing well in Entrecard.
-
Entrecard has nothing to do with PR but it will affect your bounce rate which if you shared your analytic data with adsense the advertisers can see. It does have a positive effect on your Alexa score if you are consistent with it, though you would be much better off submitting posts to stumbleupon than you will with entrecard.

It’s important to understand that Google doesn’t like paid links, if you have them and if your site doesn’t indicate them with “nofollow” or you’re active on the Internet selling links on your site then your page rank may suffer. Sites are being penalized every day, specifically for selling links - including through well known services like ReviewMe, Text Link Ads, Smorty, and PayPerPost. Therefore, I do not agree to link exchanges with such sites nor do I ask to have my blog links placed on their blogrolls.
Bottom line: It’s Google’s search engine and they have every right to say that if you sell links, they might penalize you. Google is not telling site owners what to do with their sites, which is a popular argument point. Google is telling site owners what to do if they are concerned about doing better in Google. If you don’t want to be harmed in Google then don’t sell links and don't link to blogs and sites that do.-
Google says clearly, we do not allow selling PR. I think I read it on Matt Cutts blog or some other trustworthy source
-
@timethief It can be argued since they own their own ad service and don't disclose their rating methods that they are interfering in interstate commerce when they penalize a site. The current SCOTUS wouldn't agree with that argument, but I think it would be 5-4 decision so it wouldn't take much to change alter the other way.
@ModelElaine Yes they have said it in very vague and broad terms since out and out saying we will penalize you for selling links we can't prove you sold would definitely be illegal.

I'm down to a PR 1 at the moment, I used to be a pr 3, but many of the sites/directories my site was listed on shut down so I've lost quit a bit of backlinks. Also many blogger's who I've left comments on in my niche also stopped blogging, and dropped their domains. So snowball effect, and I'm down to PR 1.
But. The good news is, the traffic hasn't stopped coming in from Google. In fact I get more traffic now than I ever had before. I used to care about the PR, but not so much anymore.-
Only #2 will really help the page rank much. But I've stated why my pr dropped to 1.
-
thx!
-
My PageRank would show as Unranked for a while (oh, noes!), but it's back to good old PR3, probably thanks to the link posted by timethief.-
thanks!
