The incredibly popular NewsDay.com was at a PageRank of five recently, and Google specifically confirmed that NewsDay received this PageRank penalty due to "selling links that pass PageRank." But when I look at the Google Toolbar now at www.newsday.com, it shows a PageRank of 8, not a PageRank of 5.

We (Newsday) had a PR5 until it was finally returned to a PR8 late last week. I've been working with Google since I started with Tribune in February 2008 to get this problem resolved. The links have not been on the site since late 2007 or January 2008 (trying to nail down the exact time).
