I did not do anything wrong! I think google team thought my content is spam, absolutely not, the content of those pages are written and submitted by our publishers who also submit the same content to the other websites and I looked at those websites they have not been punished!
However I contacted them but still did not receive any reply yet.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Regards.
I think you have some misconceptions as to how PR works. I suggest you read this excellent primer by Macro:-

Those pages in the past had page rank 3 but they are zero now!
Are those PR0 pages indexed in Google?
Toolbar PR is notoriously buggy, I wouldn't pay too much attention to it - watch the SERPS and your logfiles, not the little green bar.
See Macro's post and the sub-heading in there "Help, I've lost all PR!".

The old ones are still indexed but not the new ones!
new ones!
How new?
If the old ones are indexed, and simply showing a white bar, you have nothing to worry about.
Did those pages do well in the SERP's at one time, but not now? And, if they declined in the SERP's, when?
Are they now in the Supplemental Index?
>when did they go from PR3 to PR0, roughly?
They went from PR3 to PR0 before about six months
>Did those pages do well in the SERP's at one time
No.
>Are they now in the Supplemental Index?
No.
further proof I think that pr makes little difference
I have home page pr6 which rarely gets hits via g
i have internal pages with pr0 which have ranked number1 for a very competitive phrase for about 4 years
wouldnt worry about pr anymore - dont think g does
Articles and content that is written first and placed on another higher ranking site will take precedence. Apparently from what I have heard in some circles Google may be testing a way to simulate reading and testing content from a more 'human perspective'. Is it possible your pagerank has been dropped to 0 because Google deems only those pages duplicate content? Possibly this is a new thing applied to newest updates?
home page had PR 6, now dropped to 4. All other previously high ranking pages are now at PR0 and basically gone. I have done nothing wrong here. Google has a problem handling permanent redirects it seems. My old pages that had been redirected to the current pages a long time ago were never completely removed from their index, just pushed far back, so 2 urls existed that went to the same page.
It seems a duplicate content filter was definately applied, and sites punished. In my opinion, they need to handle their redirects correctly first. Im still showing up good in this DC

but its unlikely these results will spread.
