These all pages lead to the same page that is http://www.example.com/index.php set as default. And prior to the dance we had PR of 6 and use to show the snapshot of homepage, which was uploaded on 13th Feb. with all the 4,390+ backward links.
That’s not all the DMOZ category and description as gone for all the 4 cases. Where as it use to show in google results (I have checked and we are listed in DMOZ). Can anyone please but some light into this matter? Is there any way out? Has some one every come across just a problem and counter it? If yes in which way?

Some of that may have to do woth the Toolbar not having settled verytime to displaying new PR values. Also those pages are not necc. the same to Google.
1) Link all the site pages to www. Example.com instead of www. example.com / index.php
2) Redirected example.com to www. Example.com (server side redirect)
3) Created a sitemap and uploaded on the site root linked from everypage.
4) Created text footer with all-important links on every page of the site.
5) Changed the OPD title/description with "X" keywords...(this was very tough)
Am I missing anything?
Now I am waiting for the update. Though not sure which page will Google pickup this time. I am reading and reffering to WebmasterWorldWorld since ages and have great faith that my problem will find a definite solution here..
Questions:
1) Will the site get a PR6? (Prior to April’s update site had PR6 & now is PR3) site has 53,160 back links when searched in ::Fast but 0 in Google
2) Will the site get its DMOZ description back?
3) Will the cache show new pages?
If not should I send a mail to Google?

PS: I am still not sure why this thing occurred and what went wrong :(
example.com is nowhere for X keyword, but affiliate link example.com/ptnr?=affiliate is on #13 - but this link refreshes and loads the homepage - example.com
Now whats wrong with google.
In your case, you are getting all your inward links via affiliate programs, thus [example.com...] is showing high amount of backward links and has a high page rank. www.example.com does not have a high pagerank because you do not have many non-affiliate links.
samjhe.
Another problem is that it drop the dmoz description.
Before the crawl our site was #4 in the Google directory now its nowhere in top 50 and shows no PR value against the listing.
Now that I have known the cause of the problem I am simply asking that the changes that I have made are appropriate also requesting for more suggestions in any.
What hurts is that members here don’t even care to understand the problem - before posting a reply.
