Site Hacked - now has PR

[kef272]

I just noticed one of my poker domains/sites was hacked. It's a domain I've never used, so I installed wordpress (and never updated it) and put up 1 post about 8 months ago.

I checked this morning for some reason and it was hacked (see image) and it's now a pr5. WTF? I have 5 year old sites with content, traffic and backlinks that are pr0 or pr1. I love/hate google.

The site has no backlinks. I uninstalled the old wordpress and installed the newest wordpress (to remove the hack).

So my question is, Does this have any real value? The toolbar shows a pr5, but is google really still treating it as a pr5 with pr5 juice? I think I will throw up a quick site and get a few backlinks, but I think it will go right back down to pr0.

Any thoughts or similar experiences?

If you 301 a domain to a second domain (say with a PR5), the first domain will show the PR5 (and backlinks) of the second domain.

It's just phantom/spoofed PR. It won't help you.

If you register a new domain, and 301 it to adobe.com, six months later if you take the 301 off the new domain will show Adobe's PR9.

Thanks for the piece of information. I just knew this stuff in this forum.
