Deadly Poisonous PR 0?

Can this spread to other directories or pages?

[yopiyop]

Dear all,

A cry for help:

Situation:

We have a main website operating for 3 years
Our content is text based and sorted by directory

www.mainsite.com/directory1/
www.mainsite.com/directory2/
www.mainsite.com/directory3/
etc

Problem:

I recently figured out this situation after update dominic:

Our main site PR is 5
All our directories have PR 5 except 2 which have PR 0

mainsite.com/directory6/
mainsite.com/directory9/

Questions:

1. Our structure link our directories together (/directory/default.asp link to all other directories) can the PR 0 spread across all other directories because I link back the directories?

2. Why did those directories got suddenly a PR 0? (We use the same structure for all directories)

3. Does a PR 0 announce a death penalty for the next update? (Grayed toolbar)

4. How can I ask Google to remove this PR 0 stuff

from my experience ... yes it did. hopefully it does not need to happen to your site.

A lot of sites are suddenly experiencing PR0 for no reason. Just another wacky expression of Evil Dominic...I wouldn't take the PR0 too seriously at this point. It's so prevalent right now, it really does not appear to be something that won't work itself out as little Dominic finishes his bratty little tantrum where he's just bullying some of us little guys and gals 'cuase he can...or maybe it just feels like that..:(

Yes, couple of our sites (formerly PR5) are showing PR0 too, and I am DEAD SURE they are as clean as can be, with simply no possibility of a penalty. Interestingly, they are showing up in the rankings as they usually do. So, I suppose we'll have to wait for things to settle down ...

We are experiencing the same but the pages which are having PR0 have maintained their rankings, so right thing to do is, check the rankings if they are not affected then its the case where you need not worry...
