If you are a blogger and have been keeping track of the Page Rank gossip on the internet then you would know about some bloggers complaints of their Page Rank dropping in the last 2 Google up-dates. I decided to do a bit of snooping around and here is what I found.
I visited some of the blogs that went from PR3 to PR0 and found them mostly to be a mixture of everything on their blogs. Basically they would ramble on about anything for a buck. One such blog I found last night had a really nice layout and had 80% of the blog posts to do with knitting. Then out of the blue she does a post about barn fans! Now if you know anything about Page Rank you must know part of the algorithm is based on links to other similar sites like your own. Meaning that if your blog or website is about health and you link to astronomy then the link to astronomy would not count or be given less value. The same thing happens in reverse to people that link to you.
The bottom line to what I am saying is: The blogs that have gone down in Page Rank deserve it, not because of paid links but because of getting off subject. I have also looked at many of those blogs that have gone down in Page Rank and most of them are poorly written (no spell check and lousy grammar) so no wonder Google skipped over them.
I know that they like to blame "paid links" for their Page Rank drop but I have 2 other blogs that have "paid posts" on them and they both just went from a PR4 to PR5. I attribute that to the fact I stay on topic and my readers keep linking to the blogs.
