Got a PR1

Hi - my undeveloped site which has a front page that says under construction gained a PR1. How did a site that is doing nothing and had no SEO done to it get a PR1?

I bought the undeveloped domain 4 months ago.

TY

BAD

 

Whats the URL?
Most likley reason it got PR1 is that someone linked to it.

 

Perhaps took the page rank from another site, fake pagerank maybe?

 

This page rank won't stay forever. It will go off within couple of months..

 

I'd ignore the above statement

Well, when you bought this domain I'm assuming it was off someone who already registered it. Most likely some backlinks exist to the domain homepage already, this is why it's a PR1 and all the other web pages are PR N\A. Remember, backlinks are the only way Pagerank is increased, if their is Pagerank there are backlinks

 

PR 1 is nothing to be proud of... I feel like you'd have to try really hard to get a PR that low.

 

...read what he said. He wasn't bragging. He was wondering how a blank page not promoted/linked to got a PR1. And that's a legit question.

 

There is a convetion that PR1 comes to show that google thinks badly of u ... just a thought.

 

Don't think it works like that...

 

So what's PR0? Google 'hates' you?

 

Add some content and earn it.. You'll loose it soon..

 

I'm only quoating others that say that 1-2 PR's show google thinks something is SEO wrong with ur page and that 3 is the starting rank.

 

"Others" are just wrong then. Seriously, that is one of the least accurate things I've read in a long, long time.

 

I think one of the reason is that domain is getting link from anywhere may be it is getting link form it's own hosting site, can you put your domain here ?

 

As i said - I"m quoting others and did not think it to be correct ... wanted to get the forum input on this assumption.

 

Maybe your links have some backlinks from anywhere. I have one site which only one page (homepage) and after 8 months I get PR2.

 

iam curious i hope you post your site soon..

 

I think that's a fake pr. If that is a real pr, soon will lost it. You said you did nothing to your site, so definitely your site also gained nothing.

 

Add some content and earn it.. You'll loose it soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

some times Google made mistakes. my new site for about one week is Pr2 now
