Had the .co.uk for 9 months. .com now same PR?

Page Rank (IBL) same for .com with no content?

A client site (.co.uk) has a PR 6. The .com of the same name was registered at the same time by the same person using the same reg company and forwarded to the .co.uk. Since then we've only promoted the .co.uk domain.

The .com has never been marketed in any way.

We've only decided recently to put other unique content on the .com site so launched it and redirected the domain, which was previously pointed, to the new server.

So now the .com domain looks as though it has a similar PR and has assigned the same links count as the .co.uk!

Is this normal? Will Google think I am up to something?

The .com site has snippet content from the .co.uk site that makes up fairly unique new pages i would think and navigation is 100% different and is built 100% differently.

Have you checked if the .com has inbound links?
Use Yahoo siteexplorer for that.

It's probably a hangover of the redirection. The current ToolBar PageRank value may be assuming that they are the same site. You can be fairly confident that the next TBPR update will differentiate between the two.

Don't worry about it, it's not something that Google will see as bad. You are probably already seeing that you get much better results on the .co.uk than the .com, if so the real PR (being just one factor, but an important one when you think of the associated benefits) is being used in the SERPS.

It would seem this was the case - cheers.
