Read somewhere to use a 301 to direct non-www to www so that all backlinks are interpreted by Goog as going to the www version and thus making more backlinks to the www version
However, I just noticed a DRASTIC DROP in pagerank, no lie
It appears that the 301 has INVALIDATED the non-www links
Can 301 redirects hurt pagerank???
Any help MOST appreciated

Scanreg, I really don't know why you got this problem, but I doubt this is due to a 301 redirect you used (unless you did something wrong, which I doubt too.)
To the best of my knowledge, 301 redirect is recommended by Google as a preferred way to move a site.

301 redirects can't hurt the pagerank. It actualy increases it, by cumulating the links received to www domain com with those received to domain.com
Many websites had suffered a major Page Rank decrease on this latest update. I think this is due to some changes in Google ranking formula.

I guess that might be a possibility but I cannot confirm. The 301 was the only thing I changed and I still wish I could reverse it.

It's not about what you've changed, it about what Google changed  Google may not tolarate some things any more...who knows.
Did you encounter a ranking drop or just a PR drop?
