I have a client. He has a website. I was developing his site one year ago. No SEO, all very basic. Of course, his website had only a PR2 and was not showing up in any related searches. His website didn't even had titles or page descriptions, only some content.

Recently we remade totally the site. We changed the layout. I added page titles and descriptions, I have changed the URL's from - eg - contact.php in construction-company-contact.html, I have used the "alt" tags to improve the density for some keywords and some other minor changes. Anyway, now all the site is entirely new; even the starting page, now it is "index.html" instead of (former) "index.php". From the old pages, only one (from 12) has remained exactly the same (same URL, same content). Until yesterday, the Google toolbar still showed for the main domain www.[the-url].com PR=2, but suddenly today (googlebot visited the site this morning and a couple of days ago) it showed no PR at all. Not even 0! It says "no information is available". If one searches for www.[the-url].com, Google says the same, "no information is available", as if the site would be banned. However, Google cache still shows the old versions of the pages (including index.php page) and that only page that remained exactly the same, still has PR=1 (but of course, it is the only page on the website having a PR). What could be this? I was afraid that the site was banned, however 1. it appears in (very) oriented searches, and 2. one of its pages still has a PR. The loss of PR for the main domain could be possible because of changing the root file from index.php to index.html?!

What is the URL you are referring to? You may wish to give it a day or two as this happens to my sites as well as it appears that Google is shuffling things around a bit. When Google did its PR update several days ago, my back links would not display for a day and then they were back.
