Hmmm ... one site up from 4 to 5 again.

Google could be dancing. Wait a few days but yeah a 4 to a zero ... very strange.

Internal pages appear to have stayed the same, at 4.

How old is your site? Do a search and learn about sandboxing.. Its only a theory, but could be a viable reason

I think Google is indeed start to get it's party hat on, at the very least.

I've seen some very strange activity on a specific keyword over the past few days (sites disappearing, then reappearing a day later, repeated 3/4 times).

Really don't worry about it. Google is updating at the mo and also, I think, is rebuilding the index hence you may find some sites dropping out briefly. It'll be back soon probably, so sleep easy

PageRank™ doesn't mean anything anymore... :)

Don't know why people get so uptight about it. :)

As I explained in the thread you started on that topic, it never really was the case that business.com had a PR0 -- just a glitch in what the toolbar was reporting. Rankings never suffered, backlinks were in place, and it wasn't showing a PR0 anyway. It was showing no PageRank for the index page.

Well, it's not a minus anyway(even maybe a plus), but it does affect rankings as said before.
