    Maybe because the PR value isn't updated in PR tools in real time.

      Well I did a 301 redirect on 2 of my sites within 2 different months (as far as im concerned google dose not update its PR on the toolbar's every months so this is why I did it in 2 consecutive months) and both PR of the sites updated within a week ( One actually updated in 3 days exactly, im thinking it's do to the crawl rate of that particular site).

      But this time around, when I tried to 301 another site I got a PR of 0 (within 3 day's of redirecting) and when I check my PR with Bulk Fake PageRank checker, verify page rank for free, fake pr check its showing me that its been transferred but its highlighted in red (the other 301 I did previously were green when I checked them using this tool). So this is why I asked the question since it seems like google gives certain types of 301 a penalty while others take on PR almost immediately.

      NOTE: One thing I did do differently this time around was add the new domain that had the PR to google WMT and fetched the main url as googlebot, then clicked on "submit to index". I don't know if this had anything to do with it.

    PR updates when google updates it. Could be months!

      Actually, it updates all the time. They just don't release the information daily.

    Also maybe Google hasn't indexed the redirect yet.

    Sounds like you redirected a site with a fake PR.

      You know what, I think you might be right...

      But when I purchase domains I make sure that I go ahead and check them with at least 5 different tools to make sure it passes (which this one did) but now that im looking at the backlink profile a bit more closely, I think you might be right.

        Always check the backlinks. Those pr checkers are easily fooled.

    Indeed. I would never buy a website without being 100% sure of PR and backlinks!
