Page Rank gone - technical difficulty?
-
Hi all,
after coming back from the holidays, I noticed that our PR (6 on the homepage) has vanished into "Unranked". All other sites are also "unranked". I tested other domains - PR still there, so the problem does not lie in the PR checker.
There are no drops in traffic, rankings, no messages in the GWMT, the same numer of indexed pages, inbound links okay (all natural)...
As you see, I checked everything I thought could be a hint to a solution, but found nothing... This goes on for the 3rd day now (after my holidays, maybe even longer).
Could there be a technical problem causing this "drop"?
Our website: http://www.access.de/
I am thankful for all hints/suggestions...
Thanx...

Greetings,
I checked your website with a few tools and the PR is indeed N/A. PR penalties are usually related to selling/buying suspicious links. You should take a look at your backlinking structure and see if there's any weird domain that links to you. By "all other sites" do you refer to websites that link directly to access.de? If these sites lost their PR too, they might be the source of the penalties.
Did you add your website on Google Webmaster Tools? I'd wait a few more days to see if there's any change to your PR or if Google sends you a notification for unnatural links.

Hi Dorothea,
we didn`t buy or sell links. Indeed, there has been no linkbuilding at all, the backlink profile is really natural - this is no joke!!
By "all other sites" I mean other pages on our domain (categoreis with PR of 5 etc..).
In Webmaster Tools there is nothing suspicious: no warning, lo lost indexed pages, the same number of backlinks....
And honestly, I dont think that our PR goes down from 6 to unranked because of a weird domain lining to us. We have really strong (natural) backlinks from german universities etc. that should "protect" us.
But I think you are right, I am waiting some more days to see if anything is changing...

If you didn’t noticed any change in traffic, ranking or sales then there is no way a big problem I don’t think it’s some kind of penalty or you should consider changing your back link profile…. I guess it’s an update problem…
Check your DA and see if you loss DA from the past and if not then things are not dangerous for you…
