It is clearly evident that the pagerank drop has happened to websites which were in someway or the other selling paid links and could alter search results. So its time that SEO’s alter their groove and get down to some serious link building.

With the latest update it’s become obvious that Google is reviewing their ranking policy.
All the mishaps that occurred with the sites suspected of trading links just prove once more that SEO’s of this generation should be more selective in choosing the promotional strategies, and should probably take advantage of the old tested methods like creating quality people-oriented content, social bookmarking, etc, cause in the long run this will bring a more lasting effect.
Anyway, you are sure to know that most of the above sites soon recovered their PR, and are fine now ))
Good luck!
