It’s day 2 and the expired domain I just bought is still retaining it’s PR 4. I probably should have held on and try to get the PR 5 on my first try.

You see I was reading some online articles how some people were buying expired domains with PR on them. I was suffering from Pagerank Deficiency Syndrome (PDS) after both my PR4 and PR2 website were ‘zerofied’ […]
