From PR7 to Grey Bar because of Server Downtime?

Is it possible?

[Louka]

Hello to you all!
I´m new to this board (lurked quiet a time).
Now to my question:
I have had a PR7 Site which was down from mid of november to mid of december because of a server problem!
I redesigned the site (while it was down) and got a new server (new IP) because the problems with the old one couldn´t be solved.
When I uploaded the site the PRbar showed still PR7, until yesterday - I have a grey bar now.
Also I´ve had more than 2000 inbound links and now a search link:http://www.mydomain.com shows NOTHING - but I know the links are still up.
Am I banned from Google or will I get my PR back?
Any opinions?

Google will cache DNS info for a while, sometimes - and since you site was down for the last full crawl (happens right after the update, which is going on right now) I'd say that you should be recrawled in about a week or so, and can expect to be back in the DB in full swing at the end of the month - perhaps sooner with the freshbot.

Cheers. And Welcome to WebmasterWorld - we've got a nice site search [searchengineworld.com] if you haven't checked it out yet - lots of good stuff there - especially good for the Google News forum - since it's so active.

Again, Welcome and congrats on your first post - hopefully, next time it'll be for a more positive situation eg, Google sending you so much traffic you don't know what to do with it...

now I´m in the mood for dancing again. ;)
