Default Google PageRank Dropped from PR3 to PR0 today

One of my websites dropped from PR3 to PR0 today. What can be the reason?

All my other sites are ok.
Did any of you guys experience a PR drop today or in week?

I wonder if the PR update is in progress

I know PR is just there for entertainment purposes. A gimmick for you to install Google toolbar

So far my blog is still at PR3. I'll check it periodically today to see if anything happens.

It's probably just an update. My sites and blogs are all still the same for now, but I wouldn't worry much.

By the way Lisa I saw some of your sites dropped with 1.

Why do u think your site(s) dropped with 1?

I checked John Chows blog yesterday and his blog is now PR3. A couple of months back it was PR4. Year ago PR 6

I also checked shoemoney and his blog dropped with 1 as well to PR4

2create is still a 4, websitebabble is still a 4 and flat stomach is still a 3. My blog has always been a 1 as it's only 4 months old. Remember I just switched to WordPress in January and my URL changed so I started over essentially. Nothing changed on my end (yet).

Maybe it's just me but I don't check my PR much. No matter what the number is my Google traffic is always increasing. So I don't worry about it much.

ok, so in your opinion PR is not that important.

I checked my stats and my traffic is still ok

Yes, and even less important as time goes on. I tend to think people put too much focus on those measuring tools (Alexa, PR, etc.) My numbers on these sites have bounced around for years but the thing I always look at is my traffic. In spite of all the jumps I've had from Alexa, PR, etc. my traffic is up nearly 60% in the last year or so.... and mostly from Google.

Very interesting Lisa,

So the emphasis must should not be on measuring tools, but rather traffic.
