That's why I don't like using pagerank!
Domains as they get older get more authoritative. xhan has an oldish blog, so she'd probably rank quite easily with certain keywords pretty quickly. However, as she hasn't been getting links as much as normal, her pagerank has dropped.

believe it was done so that pages on the internet that were ages old but had few links coming from it wouldn't be targetted by pagerank spammers for links. Of course, everythng is just heresay, nobody outside of Google knows for sure!
