We just installed WordPress and FeedWordPress onto our server to grab news items then distribute them to our staff. Yesterday we had a Google PR of 6 which we've had for a long time and today it's at Zero.

I'm 99% sure that this is why our page rank dropped because some of the news items were from Google News and therefore Google has a syndication link in the news items so they instantly know when someone clicks on a news item where our site is.

We are going to move Word Press to a different domain on a different IP, but I still have a coupld of concerns...

1) How long will it take Google to raise our PR back up after we take down the newsfeeds? Are are we permantly screwed by Google?

2) If we link to the new site and have the site link back to us will that contribute to a lower PR rank?
