    OUCH! What happened!?? From pr4 to PR0

    A follow up from a previous post I left, "Does parking keep a pr high?"

    First, Thanks for all the feedback and advise. So I guess my question was answered, my parked domain, 72mph.com has been knocked down from a PR4 to a PR0. What happened!?? :greenconfused:
    Some of my other domains which were also parked in the same location and previously had a PR0 now have PR2 and PR3?? This domain names business is confusing

    Where do you park your domains? Are you using the same program? I am noticing that my parked domains are gradually losing traffic and PR... :( I wonder if it might matter where you park...

    Parked at NameDrive. Actually I have more domains in my portfolio that gained pr instead of losing it.

    Of course parked domains will lose PR because they lose backlinks and they lose traffic because no one wants to go to a site with nothing on it.

    Google knows it's parked, therefore it will eventually drop from its listings as well as lose its PR

    Google is not stupid

    Google doesn't want parked domains in their index and has ways of identifying and removing them.

    They only like the parked domains they like are the ones they make money off

    Re: OUCH! What happened!?? From pr4 to PR0

    Thanks for all the feedback. Pr's are going wacky right now. My Pr4 domain that was knocked down to a pr0 is now back up to a pr4 (Still parked). As for the question "if parking a domain increases or decreases a domains pr", I have 14 more domains that are all parked and were all previous pr0 but now are b/t pr3 and pr4.(Can't complain)

    The more I try and understand, the more confusing it gets. :greenconfused:

    Again, thanks for all the feedback and advice.

    PR is overated. I have a couple of PR5 sites that get no traffic and make no money

    If you are making money from parked domains look at where the traffic is coming from not at the sites PR. If you buy a domain that gets search engine traffic and you park it, you will remove all of the pages that are ranked and are used to find your site.

    If you receive type in traffic and or traffic from people finding the site through links, dont worry what Google thinks your sites PR is.

    Trust me, you can loose alot of sleep over PR.
