I don't follow the whole drops thing that much, but last I checked google was still zeroing the pagerank of dropped names for a couple of months, then bringing them back into the index based on whatever backlinks they still retained.

So it's possible your domains were just going thru this natural rank-stripping process.

Anybody have any thoughts on the status of drops, dropped names, in google these days.
If you search on the domain name by itself and google replies with "No information available for this url try lcicking the link" .. is the what I consider evidence of a google ban.

Anyone think that is wrong or know another way?


Bill.. I cant be sure what rules are now as all my drop domains that were greybarred after re-regging came back a while ago.. and i stopped buying them 18months or 2 years ago.... BUT talking amongst a few friends that have bougth thousands between them over years... there was a whole bunch that came back all at same time around 1 year after that update when they greybarred many/most exisiting ones...

Since early this year it appears if you buy a drop... they would not greybar it... but it went to PR0 ... from what differnet people have told me I am starting to think what google are doing rather than tracking old/new backlinks... is they simply discount all re-regged drop-domains PR and backlink value.. by 100%... next update it's discounted by 80%... then 60%... etc ect... in other words it appears to me that a drop takes about 6 months until google will give full value for the irrelevant backlinks..

Again... that's just my suspicions based on bits and pieces I have noticed over months. No one should go and bet your house on the info.
