White Bar on Brand New Site

...Though it was "parked" somewhere...

I have a question regarding a new site I just published to the web - just a few days old.

It has an all white bar (no gray bar). I know there is no way I could have a penalty. However, the company from which I bought the domain name had a "Coming Soon - Check Out our Services" page for the parked domain until I transferred it to a new e-commerce host.

I currently have another domain parked there with the same white bar.

Is this a ban from google (thanks to the domain company), or does a white bar sometimes appear on new pages and not signal PRO?

Thanks,

Jane

I don't know the official word but I have personally seen it more than once on new sites and it goes away as soon as there is content there. Wait for another update (or even two) before you worry.

As soon as a complete update has been made and PageRank have been calculted for the specific page, it goes away.
(That is if you have a PageRank higher than 0 ;) )
