website rebuild

if you get a new website on an established domain that has page rank csn you lose it just by rebuilding the website?

Not in my experience. You may lose PR for a few months once the web site is built, but eventually it will come back if the backlinks to that domain stay in place.

PageRank is a mathematical calculation that is irrelevant to what is on your website.

If the internal pages of the domain had backlinks which supported the Pagerank and if after the website rebuild, They all are 404s then you might lose the PR.

  Good point. To add to that... you could determine which pages had PR and re-create them on the new website.

It is better to have wordpress or similar CMS to avoid this sort of issue as you can chnage look freely without loosing your link structures and data.
