What I think people can do whatever they want to you and they often will. You however have the power to determine how you want to react to their actions. Google will adjust its PageRank scores in a way they deem fit (it’s their toy after all) and ultimately you must decide how you will cope with the possible results.

Just checked my backlinks…No significant decrease though… I've heard a lot of news from other forums that lots of websites got their PR increased. Some got from N/A to 4 almost immediately…something is going on definitely…

btw…mine changed from 0 to 3! Should i rejoice? I am still waiting for some real answer to this .

Hi Crane Man,

I have seen some changes too -- 2 news site from PR0-PR4.

Google has changed the way they are looking at backlinks again too. Check your sites. You will likely see a significant decrease in backlinks.

Page rank is one of the most important features that Google has introduced. It has gained a considerable importance. Totally agree with your viewpoint.
