Big jump in PR rank for 2 sites...

[ZuraX]

Ok these two sites had a PR under 4 for over a year. I killed the one site, and the other I bought when the original owner changed domain names. I parked them at Domain Sponsor and forgot about them. Last month I moved to a new server and when I moved my Parked domains the new servers cpanel used the old servers IP for the sites.

This meant for almost a month they came up with cpanels error of no site configured at this address. I found the error the other day when I seen all my sites were not sending traffic to DS. So I went to one and got the error. I fixed the error then visited them. These two had a PR7... So how did they get this high of a rank with a parked page/error page?


http://www.getpaidfyi.com has PageRank 7/10.
www.getpaidfyi.com Google/AOL 107, Yahoo 451, AllTheWeb 461, AltaVista 458, MSN Beta 11586, HotBot/Inktomi 104 and Lycos 98 links.

http://www.points4ads.com has PageRank 7/10.
www.points4ads.com Google/AOL 107, Yahoo 1, AllTheWeb 1, AltaVista 1, MSN Beta 4, HotBot/Inktomi 19 and Lycos 14 links.

I think the "old" servers domain must be thrown in to the mix somehow ? - Is it a high pr site / error page itself ?

 

[ZuraX]

Nope the domain is a PR 4 but the default page had a PR 0

hmm... interesting. Don't shout about it though, or someone might pick up on it and "fix" the problem!

It is probably a result of it really having been a PR7 for quite some time, but that Google hadn't updated it's ranking
I doubt you picked up any links or anything, but the PR updates can be few and far between.

what does pagerank do to your site?

From what I hear the higher it is the more often Google indexes your site...
