PageRank Zero Does Not Mean Google Penalty; Says Google

[megri]

A topic most SEOs already know, but it is nice to have confirmation from Google. A Google Groups (http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Indexing/browse_thread/thread/8fbe1bf033bc9ee5/) thread has Googlers responding to a Webmaster who's site dropped from a PageRank 4 to a PageRank of 0. It appears this site saw a drop in PageRank, but not a drop in rankings, because it has done Paid Review posts without a disclaimer, said Google.
