    Check topdvdr.com
    It is PR3 with 4 pages without content and I think has only 3-4 links.
    How is this possible, is it some kind of blackhat

    It's a dropped domain registered 3 days ago and still retains the PR from being a DVD/movie review website. It will likely lose its PR the next update Google does. However, it does have a few backlinks, one being a PR5, so you never know if it sticks, but I doubt it.

    Edit:
    The main reason some of the old links aren't hanging around I'm guessing is it was part of a web ring related to mania.com since the waybackmachine points to it at one point this year. When the site dropped they pulled the links. (just my guess from a quick look)

    That's the most likely case.

    It is possible that the site will not have any backlinks, content or anything else put can have a good PR. How? simple, if someone redirect a high PR site to any other, then after some time [after one or more PR updates] the other site will also get the same PR as of the high PR site.

    Little time ago, I deleted some pages in my site, I then redirected those pages to home page, after 8 months, I decided to remove all those pages via google URL removal.

    When I removed the redirect, I saw the PR of home page on all those deleted URLs. After seeing this I no longer redirect deleted pages, I block them via robots file and then remove via webmaster tools.

    If a page gets PR in this passion, then such PR disappears after some time.

    I totally agree with 'angilina'
    However, it might be a temporary situation and this PR won't last after the next PR export ?

    That would you call a fake PR. I agree this is a dropped domain. Unless he start backbuilding then bye2 to the PR. In some cases which is a bit rare a domain or site retains it PR even without any backlinks :)

    What the heck are some of you talking about? Did you read my reply? It's a dropped domain, it was registered last Wednesday. You can see this through whois, plus you can find it listed on multiple expiring/dropped list feeds within the last few weeks. Someone picked it up cause it had PR and threw a casino related site on it probably to make some money off suckers by selling them links to a PR3 site. It wouldn't be the first of a few thousands of times it's happened the exact same way.

    As for you, considering you just made 34 posts in the last 40 minutes, I'm assuming you didn't bother reading this thread, you're just replying to everything to get your post count up to sell sig links.

    Where did you check its back link?

    Most probably that it have lots of back links, maybe the domain is older than you think.

    I found a PR5 page on a PR0 site a few weeks backs. I'd been familiar with the site for a few months and knew it didn't have any strong backlinks. In the last but one PR update the page went from PR0 to PR5 and then in the last major PR export the pages went back - to a more easily explained - PR0.

    Interesting that you all believe it is to do with links!

    So I have a site with 0 backlinks. The site has been up for about 18 month (so been through a few updates) all pages in the site are PR3 (with one a PR2).
