I have beein using this plugin for 2-3 weeks
so, only registered members can access the site,

and while before google rank was 5.. 2 days ago I have discovered, that it is now only 1

is it normal??

I did look at other sites with login to access content, and their google PR was high, like it was not a problem..

Does anyone have any experience?

thanks
Kris

@kriskl – Google updates the public PageRank once every 3-4 months, so do not expect a change anytime soon. PageRank is the “power” of a page based on internal and external links. The fact you just closed a good portion of your site from Google crawlers should cause your PR to drop, because there are less internal links.
