You are right, but I think I promoted the site very intensive. Otherwise I still hope that Google will realise the mistake, and correct it to a PR5

I redirected the search engines to the www version using .htaccess.

PR4 is the norm, you should be able to get that with 2 or 3 links.

Also keep in mind that the PR export is normally at least 3 months old when it shows on the toolbar.

I think I remeber debating something similar to this at another forum that to be able to guranteed PR tranfer from one site/page to another you need to leave it for at least three or more months

I'm going to experiment by starting a new site and only linking it to one high PR site. Anyone want to be part of the experiment and give me a free link to a PR9 or 10 site

Actually, this forum should get a PR11 from what I have heard, so I should have a good link I can experiment with.

Google shows he 8000 inlinks in the webmaster service, so that's why I was so shocked.:deal: If it exports a 3 months old state, that is OK.

Yep just to clarify how it works,

the backlink data is more or less live, but the toolbar PR is a snapshot taken a few months earlier (which is why I try to explain to people that you can't compare the two! )

OWG, there is something what I can't understand. Last november a hungarian seo contest was launched. I informed about it in the first days of december and decided to take apart, with a freshly registered subdomain. The previous update was started on 9th January, and had a second wave on 25th January. I gained a PR5 within almost 2 months in the second wave. So I don't know how this snapshot is taken?

As I said, it has been 'about' a few months prior. We managed to nail the last but one PR update down to 12 weeks, as I and someone else on DP launchged sites 2 weeks apart, both were spidered the same day, I had Pr they didn't. We also managed to confirm this with some other sites.

I normally am not interested in PR, it was just that on this occasion, I was able to provide a yadstick.

Like everything in Google, they rarely stick to absolutes, they fanny around with things.
