Ugh..someone sent me a PM asking how my DemocracyForums.com could be PR8 so fast. I replied saying that whatever tool they use must be broken. I opened my IE to check the actual toolbar...WTF IT's PR8! WTF is going on! I am ready to crap my pants if this is true but it can't be. http://www.image-host.com/images/tester/dfpr8.png
I agree though, it does feel like they are giving away PR like it's nothing now....does feel like PointlessRank lol
I have a couple live PR7s, but only exported as 6s right now. I've worked decently hard to get them, but I do see a lot of my other sites popping up with 5s all over place without any effort at all.
Oh I have a ton of PR5's and PR4's. Occassionally I have a PR6 in there too. However a PR8 from a PR0 is oustanding. If you think a PR8 is valueless then that's your problem. I know of at least half-dozen ways to monetize this. Heck an ebay sale of the site might fetch $xx,xxx. It's even a good domain and site. Thank God the past months work on this site has paid off. It's really all I been working on. If we were at a bar I would buy a round for everyone!
I suggested it might be worthless only because you indicated as such that your site should not be PR8.
Well I can't explain the PR8. I did some buying of links on some PR sites..oh wait...I just freakin realized where I might be getting this PR from...oooohh....I got a secret!
Holy smokes! You know what, I saw that and thought I'd check my own sites, one of those also went PR8. Backlink check Results 1 - 4 of about 6. It only shows 4 links, all from the same domain not high pr ones either. Something is broken.
Well I think Google has not been displaying all backlinks properly. I know that I have more links than what it's reporting. serpalert...what site has PR8 for you? Do you feel it's justified or fluke mistake?
I agree with SERPalert, something must be broken. My blog at Sabahan.com has gone from 0 to PageRank 6 overnight which I write about in my blog. It seems that the new PR value is propagating across all datacenters as well.
Definitely get selling those sites on eBay now before people find out lol just kidding. I'd personally wait 7 days to see if anything changes. It certainly doesnt seem like your average update.
