MSN falls victim to Google PR update

As reported by almost everyone out there writing about Google or/and SEO, Google has dropped MSN’s PR to 2. That’s exactly what you will see in your Googlebar when you type in “www.msn.com”. As Matt Cutts explained in this comment on Threadwatch,

We’re showing the main PR on msn.com, not www.msn.com. If you check http://msn.com, it’s PR8

There are different speculations across the SEO forums as to why this is happening. most tend to suspect Google’s dislike for 301/302 redirects, which might be the case with www.msn.com/msn.com.
