    over the last couple of days i've been building a new site (so no change there then ;-)

    here's the amazing bit. at 4.15 pm today i settled on the domain name, went to godaddy and bought it. set up the hosting, made the database, put the site up.

    5.00 pm i checked out the results online and voila! the index page has a pr4! bear in mind this is a brand new domain, not a re-tread, no trace of anything on the wayback machine.

    what a wheeze! never seen anything like it before! anyway must dash now and buy new domain names for about 20 of my low-ranking sites. :p

    Don't mean to burst your bubble, but if it's truly a brand new domain, I suspect if you clear your Internet cache files, go back to the site, even do a Control+F5 (forced reload vs. refresh) the PR will be gone ... you may have been getting a db PR pass-through and not a true PR reading. If not, go buy a lottery ticket :D

    Congratulations on your luck! You're not going to tell us the domain?

    By the way, I would never rain on your parade, but if your story is accurate, I will lose even more faith in what seems to be an occaisionally arbitrary PR system. And I thought that was impossible...

    I have seen a loot of strange things with PR lately so anything is possible.

    What tool did you use to check your PR? Even if it has nothing in the waybackmachine..it could still be an old domain...
