Ok SE guru's....explain this to me.
 

I bought the domain fetishfreakshow.com about a year ago.

I just threw up a full page ad till I decided what to do with it. I had various sites linking to it, and it had a PR4.

Then last week, my PR went down to zero. It would have no reason to be blacklisted. Although I thought it might have been.
But I did a search and I still come up and the googlebot has been visiting multiple times daily since as well.

It's been over a week since it happened and still no PR. What's up with that?

That is curious. I thought at first it would be a classic www vs no www thing, but both are zeros.

And backlinks shows "Your search - link:http://www.fetishfreakshow.com/ - did not match any documents. ", which is not promising at all.

But it is listed, apparently. Which means presumably no hand ban just a natural zero.

The google bar has been kinda wonky for about a week now.

The next step would be to folllow some of your trades to see how they are doing pr wise...

What Bill said..

Goog and PR have been a bit flaky the last week or so.. and it is most likely a natural zero possibly due to a router/host down or similar..

GBot has been and you got cached on the 2nd.. so I would imagine the true PR should be back soon.

Checking the results for your trades/friends is a good start..

Google has been switching me back and forth from page 10 to 5 for a term for 10 or so days now..

I thought you weren't an SEO? :)

Just to add - it looks like you bought it around Jul 2003? Prior to that it was owned by someone else according to the archive.org listings - and it was very spammy - don't look it up on archive.org without a popup killer.

Possible in this last round of expired domains shuffle that you got caught up as an innocent bystander - Googles been hitting expireds pretty hard for a good month now

Only other thing I have seen happen is this:

You have a full page ad on the site - is it a generic sponsor full page ad, seen elsewhere? Google sometimes gets pissy about that stuff.
