Which reminds me... I did a search for some of the search terms/phrases that drew visitors to my website before the PageRank change, and my rankings for those keywords hasn't changed. It makes me wonder if the PageRank is actually zero, or if the redirect is somehow just messing up the PR stats tools I've tried. Then again, my original URL comes up as zero in those tools as well. Well, fortunately, there's more to life than PageRank. :D Thanks Andrew — I hope things certainly get back to normal soon as well.

I hadn't heard about this happening before. Hopefully things will settle back to normal in a little while. It's sad that we all live on PageRank so much. Google's algorithms can definitely make or break many websites. Wow! I hadn’t heard about this happening before. Hopefully things will settle back to normal in a little while.

That's a really excellent point -- I've now updated all my URLs (I also realized I had a few sites on there without sitemaps or verification). Keeping things up-to-date there probably wouldn't hurt. ;) Thanks for mentioning this. I had forgotten all about Google Webmaster Tools!

I hope you'll get the page rank back soon as Curtis said. I never known about this before…But I do learn from your lesson that dropping the www may cause page rank drop.

If I remember, it only took 2-3 weeks before things went back to normal. Best, Curtis Lucas,
