Great pickup for whoever parked that.. tons of traffic. I have a domain that I got when it expired which had a PR-4, (it was never dropped or de-registered completely so it retained its age) I have it parked, it did drop to PR-N/A for a while (when I put it on the market) but is now back to PR-4. So as long as it keeps the majority of its current backlinks and the domain is renewed before it drops completely (so the domain age is not reset), then I don't think the PR will drop too far. Cheers James
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. And I checked some of their backlinks; there are a bunch more with pages that look exactly the same.
do you think the previous owner may have died? He may not have left information about domain renewal etc.
I think this is a site that some one had droped it. And the page rank may be still there since they had it before.
probably the dropped domain, (but who the h..ll will discontinue PR8 site....) or maybe it's forged domain. this is interesting.
