Lost PR has dropped me a couple of places

I've just been checking my backlinks:

I usually have one from the google directory and one from the dmoz directory. Currently only the google directory backlink is showing!

On further investigation,
Google directory page(under my category) is showing a PR0
DMOZ directory page (under my category) is showing PR GREY

The net resultis that I've dropped about 3-5 places (keyword depending)in the serps.

Other catagories look ok? Anyone else in the same boat?

My newly-adopted DMOZ category is PR0, though I can't see why. The Google mirror is fine. I'll be interested to see what responses you get.

Take some time to read through the Understanding Dominic [webmasterworld.com] thread. In GoogleGuy's comments, you will find a recurring theme.

Google is in the middle of moving to a new system of crawling and indexing. During that transitional period, some things (including the toolbar) may not function as they have in the past.

When we get the word from Google that the transition is complete, then I would start worrying about things like pages showing PR0. Until then, I think the best strategy is to just wait and see.
