Why does www.netscape.com have no Pagerank?

I was just looking over a tutorial written by SEOKeySpecialist here at DP:

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=477549&highlight=netscape+tutorial

I tried the first step. Browsing to www.netscape.com. When I do so however, it redirects to http://netscape.aol.com and shows a greyed out bar in the toolbar PR.

All of the AOL.com subdomains have high PR's, but the Netscape.com domains are completely grayed out in the toolbar:

http://search.netscape.com/search/imagehome
http://search.netscape.com/search/newshome
http://search.netscape.com/search/webhome

Is this AOL changing the entire layout of the Netscape brand on it's website and subdomains, or is something else screwy happening here?

 

it has no pr because of redirect.

they will have pr again wehn google completes the pr update

 

So may be they should wait for 3-4 months period.

 

google will skip the p.r of a site if it redirects somewhere else.

if they take off the redirect, then wait a while, it'll be there again.

 

My question is: why would AOL do this to Netscape? What advantage (other than your crappy brand name) does this give?

 

When will be next PR update?

 

You mean other than being by far the largest ISP in the world and around 1000 times bigger with monumentally more brand recognition than netscape?
