As long as the sites are not penalized it shouldn't make a difference if you link to a PR0 or PR10 page/site. Of course, any change of your page can influence the SERPs, i.e. it can improve or worsen your position. However, I would be careful when drawing conclusions by comparing different situations in time. Just because you added a link and you dropped in the SERPs doesn't mean that the new links necessarily caused this behaviour. You can try to remove the links and see whats happen (to find out if the new links were the reason for the drop).

marcz,

Did you try removing your links to PR0 sites? Did your site get back into the SERPS?

What was your PR, SERPS, and number of backlinks before and after this problem?

Well, I think that the reason is that google treat this as crosslinking. Its not easy to understand form me, because all domains are on different IPs. Im now trying to find a "safe" linking method. Thx for help.

Marcz,

I am assuming "cross-linking" is reciprocal linking.
