Page Rank is 0

[JulB]

Hi. Can you please point me in the right direction concerning a site whose default page has a PR of 0?  There does not appear to be any errors in the robots.txt file (that I can tell).  When I ran a duplicate content check by searching the title tag and first sentance in quotes it did not return more than 2 sites.  When I ran a site:  it is reporting 287,000 results.  Does this mean that they purchased links and have now been penalized? Or where should I go from here? Thank you for any feedback and assistance.

ohh this is question is tough and i'm not sure that i have the right answer. But i can suggest a methodology to find the right answer:

• Check the google webmasters tool to see if google has reported you any errors message?
• Use OSE and check links details such as PA, DA, top pages, anchor text, mozrank,...
• Use majestic SEO to check links velocity
• Analyze cached date of some strategic pages on google serps to make sure that google has stored the last version of the page
• Check your analytics tool to see if that page continues to drive visits

Hope this will help
