Two of my sites lost about 20 links and have improved marginally in the serps for key words/phrases. But one lost almost 100 links and it looks like it may lose its PR7. At least it’s flicking on at PR6 part of the time.

The site that lost so much has been around since 1996 and I wonder if something has changed in regards to old sites or old links. I remember Brett wondering if old sites had an advantage. Perhaps this is correcting for that. The lost backlinks doesn’t seem to have hurt the site in the serps.

At first I thought the difference was less internal back links showing but that doesn’t seem to be the case in the newer sites.
