Page Rank Update in all Google data center

From last couple of days I noticed different page rank in different Google datacenter and today in the morning when I reached to the office and as per schedule I was checking my websites I noticed PR update on all my new domains. My blog got PR 2.

http://seofuture.blogspot.com – 0 to 2
http://www.bikinis.eu – 0 to 2
http://www.online-shopping.eu – 0 to 1
http://www.letmeget.com – 2 to 3

I visited many website today and found this PR updation is not too good for previous well ranked websites. I checked JupiterOnlineMedia network websites and other well ranked websites and I noticed most of all websites PR went down.

Recently Google had changed algorithm and very strict about paid linking. In Google webmaster tool they introduced paid links form where you can write about any website that selling or buying a link. Mostly paid linking is used to manipulation of search engine. I visited iwebtool.com; they are also selling links and found that their page rank goes down from 7 to 4. This shows Google is very strict about paid linking and in future Google may penalize website that involved in paid linking.
