What to do to keep the PR of an expired domain

stodary2000 · 07-19-2011, 02:16 PM

Hi All,
I bought a PR 3 expired domain last month and I found that after 3 weeks
it went to PR 0, actually there was no backlinks pointing to it when I purchased it

my question is

I see people saying that you can keep this PR 3 rank and not lose it at all

so who to do that ??

One reason may be that there was some unreasonable inflation in the PR of too many sites.
It was then followed after deflation back to normal of some sites last week

Did you bother checking to see if the PR was real before you bought it? PR can be easily faked.

Yes I Agree with the poster above,

Most of the expired domains have FAKE PR and are not worth a pinch of s#&t

lol

Other than that, you can backlink to it a little bit, if you have too many outgoing links from your PR domain and have barely any incoming links eventually you will leak PR to the point that the PR of the domain will drop as a consequence.

But if your PR dropped from say PR3 to 0 then it was most likely fake

Hi stodary2000,

Real PR is updated in real time, but you can't see the real PR, just what it was at the point in time that the data was exported to the toolbar. That is old data from the past.

PR is calculated by a formula applied to your backlink graph. If you have no backlinks you have no PR. The expired domain you purchased did not have any real PR when you purchased it, therefore there never was any PR to retain.

If you want to be able to retain PR you must first purchase a domain that has real PR from backlinks that are likely to remain in place after you purchase the domain. You need to make sure that you have the same URLs active that all those backlinks point towards, or place 301 Redirects for each that you do not have in place.
