**randomo** · 05-03-2009, 03:08 PM

Newbie-type question from an old domain flipper:

I recently bought a .com that was PR4 (valid, I checked) and was the 3rd result on Google for its term (out of more than 700,000, behind only two Wikipedia pages).

Now that I have pointed it to a new page (a simple non-parked site), that domain's PR is listed as invalid, and it no longer appears on the first page of Google.

Is there any simple way to restore the PR and/or Google ranking? (For instance, would pointing the domain to the previous owner's site help?)

Thanks.
