that reminds me of netmaniak.com that time i bought it, it was an expired domain still with an pr4, the time i bought it i didnt know that the old owner asked google to redirect his old domain to the new one, result, a certain moment netmaniak went from an pr4 to a pr7, but you couldnt find the domain in google, well you would find it but when you clicked it you would get a totally different domain ranked pr7, i never understood how a domain owned by an other still can get redirect in google , i have send google 100s of emails about it to get rid of the redirect domain thing, it took them 6 months to do that, after that netmaniak could rank his own pr a pr4 again

Hey Stuveltje
Interesting story.

I mailed the person and he said he bought the domain on a forum so he did not know about it. I don't know, the domain works fine only the robot gets redirected. Anyway I removed his links.
