I see a few possible reasons for this:
1) The ads are newer and google hasn't passed it on yet (though some of the ads are a few months old now)
2) Someone either reported my site or google found my site, and manually blocked the passing to the ads.
3) Google has some way of trying to automate the discovery of ad links and isn't passing the PR across those links.
4) PR passing is partially based on similar content.
It seems to me that if google could do #3 then they would and should, since ads shouldn't effect PR considering the intent of PR from google's perspective.
But that doesn't really help me much, since it would be nice if the PR was passed.
Has anyone seen anything like this? Selective blocking of the passing of PR to ads?
I was trying to figure out what I can do to improve the situation - such as just giving up on those pages and moving to other sites, or else trying to reformat the ads so they look more like content..
Any suggestions?
I have seen sites were technically everything looks fine but the pages off the home pr (7-8) are much lower say pr 2 or 0.
This might be cause old links have less human effort and more script or automation tools used appearance. Either that or the pages are just needing updating - maybe a temp technical problem has caused it? We will just have wait and see, 2 months is just about the limit, I would say wait another update to see what happens.
This is just a brief thing I have seen, has anyone else seen the same?
layer8, it depends on the structure of the site for how the PR is passed-around the different pages, but even then, the difference you're describing seems a bit extreme. It sounds similar to an artificial reduction of a specific page's PR due to a penalty, like a link farm page.
