PR of my site dropped to NA after being offline

[ajaykumarmeher]

Hello,

I was a victim of the HyperVM hacking last month and lost all my data. However I had a backup of my site which was on 25th may (incident happened on 8th June). So I finally rcovered my site after 12 days of site being offline.

After my site came online I was surprised to check that the PR of my site has dropped from 3 to NA and also lost PR of all internal pages and main page too. It has many PR 3, 2 and 1 links.

Can some one please explain why it happened.

First, that is a pretty long time to be offline, so do be patient about recovery. This past month several members have been reporting strange changes with PageRank and Google's John Mueller (JohnMu) even mentioned that there was some technical difficulty.

I'd suggest paying more attention to recovering your search traffic, rather than what the toolbar PageRank says. That number is only a report - exported from time to time from Google's back end. The real PR that they use for calculating the rankings is a continually changing factor, calculated out to many decimal places.

So your traffic is the most important metric to watch to see if you've recovered from the outage.

Thanks a lot for the reply. It soothes me a lot. I am now focusing on regaining the search traffic and hope that very soon I will regain the pagerank.
