I was staring at LornaTimbah.com a few moments ago thinking about which post I wanted to blog first, when I noticed something quite shocking on my Google toolbar — LornaTimbah.com is already ranked 4!
Thinking that there might be a problem with my toolbar, I double-checked with other PR engines as well as Firefox’s SEO plugin. My eyes did not deceive me.
After a while, I figured I know why it gained PR so fast. I hazard a guess that since I parked the domain to point to WebGrrrl.net for awhile, LornaTimbah.com somehow inherited this blog’s PR.
I know, I know, you’re saying that WebGrrrl.net is only PR2. In fact, WebGrrrl.net should rightfully be, and had been, PR4 at some point, but Google penalized my rank for something that I may or may have not been aware of (I’m still waiting on their answer to my reconsideration).
I may never know the real reason for this spike of PR, maybe some of you SEO experts out there could shed some light on this matter. I suspect that this rank may change back to 0 soon, but that’s OK.

Yup, checking via digpagerank.com confirms it. I also want to know the reason/trick…
I’ve just checked using the site you recommend. Alas, it shows a PR4 in red, which means that it’s a fake PR. Someone mentioned to me that this is a fluke, and I believe that’s the case.
Still, I’m curious as to why this sort of thing can happen.
Yeah, why are page ranks usually false?
Congratulations on the PR, for some of us it takes a little longer to get a PR4. Great Job.
i still see it as PR4.. i check from the prchecker.info still pr4.. so its pr4 false or not 😀
Wow, really ? well, i’ll park my another domain to permanaj.com .. so if permana.com’s PR raise, the other domain will have same PR .. 🙂
Congratulations anyway!
That is pretty weird. One of my sites went from having no PR to a PR 1. It looks like they may have done a intermediate PR update. As long as you are getting more traffic, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Oww! Really? Wow, that’s good.
Congrats dear lady PR 4 is success
Yeah don’t focus too heavily on getting PR. Make sure you get traffic and high in the SERPS.
Wow, I want to do it for my webpages. Google doesnt like me..
Now I am going to read your post 3-4 times 🙂
