HI: Is it possible to lose page rank of your website after some time or make it lower?

thanks

yes... google updates PR continuously and updates the toolbar approximately 4 times per year. Heres a history chart if anyone is interested

As far as I understand you can loose pagerank if you link to sites Google considers "bad". Sites that use hidden text, nonsensical sentences filled with keywords or have no content to speak of. You'll have to ask an employee of Google for clarification, but somehow I don't think you're going to get much out of them.

They also just had a major update recently.

Don't trust the little green bar in your browser to be correct.

I just had a few sites go from 3 to 0 .

I've just had a site go from PR1 to PR0, back to PR1, and then PR0 again. Nobody outside knows what the hell Google is doing.

You know, I just uninstalled the Google toolbar. I figure what the hell, let Google see the bats for itself soon enough. I'm tired of the fear and loathing. But Hunter aside and to the original question, here are some of my bullshit theories as to why PageRank will drop:

You take down links.
You take down pages/galleries.
You get a huge spike in links, like say, a couple hundred in a month, and your site has only been up for a year and you don't have that much content to justify all the links.
You get a huge dip in links, like say you bought a hundred links three months ago and let them expire.
You are linked to a bunch of people and a couple of them get dinged as spammers; you are then considered part of a bad neighborhood.

Here's to having your ashes being shot out of a cannon as Johnny Depp weeps.

I don't believe time itself is a factor that lowers pagerank unless you take into consideration other factors like other sites that linked to yours may have disappeared over time.

The simplest way to explain PR is the likelyhood that a surfer will find your site by starting out on a random site and clicking links.

Time doesn't affect PR, but it does affect search engine placement. All other things being equal, an older site will rank ahead of a newer one.
