qsilver,

Common sense would dictate that you should first ascertain if your PR0 is a result of the purchased links, or the result of your own linking out to a bad neighbourhood.

That's easy to ascertain - just check all your outbound links accordingly.

Second, it would make sense to check that you are actually hit with a penalty. PR0 can be a result of having no inbound links (or no inbound PR transferred). So if all your links were purchased, and the hosts of the links got PR0'd, you'd hit PR0 anyway, although no penalty has actually been implemented.

So, in a nutshell, ascertain the facts before you do anything.
