Will google keep the PR of a dropped domain?

If the domain has been dropped will google keep the PR on next update if all the inbound links remain?

 

I think it will remain

 

As long as it keeps its backilinks and you can get a site up on it quick enough it will more than likely keep its PR value, if there are no backlinks then it will go in the next update.

IMO

 

I guess you mean "if google does not show the backlinks..." since if it does not have backlinks then there is no way to keep PR as far as i know?

 

Thanks for the responses guys I have a few domains that are in this category and yes it seems they are keeping their PR however time will tell if that changes

 

yeah google will keep the page rank until next update

 

It will keep for sure, but how long I can't say, I mean how long after next update...

 

Only if the domain has plenty of backlinks

 

It will keep the pr but I think only for a limited time

 

I remember picking up a dropped domain name which had it's PageRank still in tact. I guess you could assume that if a domain is dropped and hasn't had a PR Update, it retains the PR? And by the time Google comes to the next update, it sees that it has a new owner, but the Pagerank still remained for me.

You should install the GoDaddy Search Toolbar and the Google Toolbar. If you come across a dead domain which has PR, type it into GoDaddy and see if it's available. If not, install a toolbar for the WHOIS as well so you can see the WHOIS Information and if it might expire

 

If the domain has many backlinks!
I hope they will keep the PR as I have a that kind of domain as well.

 

PR is determined by sites linking to you. So if there is no changes on the quality and quantity of the backlinks then the PR will remain as well.

 

wouldn't google take it out of the index if the domain is dropped?
