Jeez… PR is increasingly difficult to hold onto! I guess that’s the nature of the beast. As tens of millions of websites are added to the system every month you need more and more incoming links all the time to make things worth while.
As far as I understand what happens with PR is you get x number of sites in the system (billions) and then you find how many links are to each of those sites, let’s say on average each site has 200 incoming links (you gotta think about sites like Google, with millions of incoming links, and sites like mine with maybe 20 or so). So there sites with 200 incoming links are PR 5’s (I know more goes into it as if a PR 6 links to you you generally get a PR 5 and most definitely automatically get a PR 3 at the least).
So the more sites that are added to the system linking to other sites the higher that average number of links goes and the more links you must obtain in order to hold onto oh, say a PR 3 (like I’d like to get back to!)
Ugh… so much work for something so trivial!
