...empty without any website pointing to it? Or with a homepage with 2 words like "for sale" with 2-3 uniques/day ??
Probably an expired domain with many backlinks. You can't always see all backlinks using the "link:www.site.com" command.
So is there increased value in these domains, can the pr be maintained, or is it destined to loose pr?
I think part of it may be how long it has been hosted. I say this because some of my hosting sites that say for sale with email address now have pr 3-pr 5 on them. They did not have this rank when I hostied them, I have done's nothing to promote them and don't understand why anybody would linke to them. But their pr has gone up the longer they have been hosted. And this may all change tomorrow. I don't worry about pr ranking as it is beyond my control.
i guess they were, i went from pr0 to pr3 lol, i was really expecting a pr1 since i didnt do much to promote lol, now im doing a lot to promote to get higher
Ya, I had a bunch of my sites jump in PR value, especially new ones. The weird one is xlsuite.org - I've got a pr1 on the home page... but all the other internal pages are PR3 and the sites barely been up for a month. Not complaining mind you. I also find that domains that I've had static (I had one "rockstarschool.com") that I'd pointed to my host, and had never set a site up on it, just had the empty folder and CGI bin visible... yet it was a PR2 just now... pretty sure it was just because it existed for a couple of years... even though there was nothing on it.
So this thread shows me that PR is really meaningless and PR change, not due to hard work, but by the time the domain is hosted, as below...
It might have dropped to that from a PR7 or PR8, and going down, you never know Reminds me of an old funny thing: - Can a woman make you a millionaire? - Well, yes, if you are a billionaire
