A rumour I heard about google PR
 

Any new domain registered is put into a 3 month probationary period before the domain is givin a PR.

Anyone else hear this?

By the way, I've been vacationing all summer so I'm a little of out of the loop :(

I never heard about this..

never heard of that :)

Maybe its just taking 3 months to get your domains any PR :)

starting to breath sighs of relief here.....


well has anyone noticed their new domains taking more than usual to get PR's?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Havent heard that, maybe some SEO people could confirm or deny it for us

A better rumor would be that PR really stands for "Playin' 'Round" and now that they have a new cash flow they don't care if anyone finds out they sit around all day screwing with PRs and laughing their asses off while reading webmaster boards:glugglug

:)

not true. Could be a new thing google pr hasn't updated in over a month :) so we wont know until tomorrow ( estimated pr update )

I assume you mean sandboxing, a process where Google supposedly temporarily "holds" a new link (that is not grandfathered in).

Maybe that explains a little bit the sand trap effect ...

I doubt its true.. I've had new domains get PR faster then that.. unless its changed very recently.
