I believe, that the PR leakage 'loss' is outweighed by the beneficial effect of the on page outbound anchor text - i.e. the page will rank higher - but obviously won't have a 'higher' PR Is that what you actually did the_nerd?

No, I wasn't referring to ranking - just to toolbar PR. I just can't understand why one inner page should have the same PR as the home page and all other inner pages have one less.

The only explanation I could think of was the outgoing link to a PR 8 SEO site.

But maybe it's something totally different: before the last PR update only the homepage and the page with the outgoing link showed PR, all others where "too young" and had PR 0. Maybe it's a question of time? Slightly lower PR for a newer page? That could mean a page goes from 0 to n-1 to the real PR over time (yes, I know, toolbar PR is a log function..., just to keep it simpler)?

But probably it was just a nice guy linking to my page :) - and since it doesn't influence ranking, maybe we all should go back to work...
