Bought high PR website- will it stay the same

Discussion in 'Google' started by Jaspworld, Jun 1, 2011.

    Hey,

    I recently bought a 1 year old PR5 website for $300. I paid this price for the PR. However, I did some general search and heard that Google drops the PR at their next update either due to Whois change or content change or back links drop etc.

    Is there a way to prevent google from updating the PR on my website or to stop it from accessing my website. It is not important for me to be even indexed in google. I just want the website for its PR.

    Thank you:D.

    It depends on the website. For example if you buy an expired domain name, there are good chances that the PR will drop at the next google dance, because the content will have changed. In the end it's all about how Google sees your website: if it still has value (ie. content hasn't changed, inbound links are still there, etc) you'll be ok.

    It is not a must. Google will not downgrade its PR value simply because there is a WHOIS change.
    Make sure you have provided the new site with good quality content and backlinks.

    Google can downgrade or upgrade the PR but there is nothing to do with WHOIS change. Try to update site with quality content and improve quality backlinks if possible.

    you can't do anything about it.. and the best way to benefit from its old backlinks is to have a content relevant to the old site.. coz' that's google consider..

    there is no way to control PR changes and algorithms, if you still manage to put good content and continue building backlinks then i guess there is chance to retain the current pr

    Why don't you make the whois information hidden? That will cost you another 5 bucks but this is what most poeple do to avoid the pagerank drop.

    The only way is check on the previous backlink and build the same backlink

    Changing WHOIS causes PR drop is a myth.

    yeah i don't see why pr and whois information has any relation. just make sure you keep the quality content and continue to build \ keep the inbound links to your site and you should be fine.

    If you wont update it or get more backlinks to stay in competition, then the PR will probably drop.

    A while ago I bough a PR5 website, it remained PR5 for a few Google updates in a row, mainly because I changed nothing, (apart from the WHOIS info).
    After some time, because I stopped actively looking after the site, it 'died' to a lowly PR1.

    I then revived it by adding some new content, (still in keeping with the original site spirit), and it shot back up to PR4 at the last update.

    So it is fair to say that it has nothing to do with WHOIS and everything to do with contents.

    You can't stop Google from doing it's work. But you can retain and even increase the PR of your website by keep on adding quality content to it and by regularly generating backlinks to your website.

    you should try to put backlinks on the higher PR than you or you can put your blog with unique content and always keep update

    There nothing you can do with it unless you keep it original.
    It hard to maintain the PR at the 1st time you bought if you change the content. Google Panda will update will check your content again !!!
    They are no ways to stop Google Access into your content . Once your content changed , then it will start affect your PR.
    Make sure you able to do better than the previous content then no doubt that you may get better PR.
