will the page rank back after duplicate contents moved?

duplicate contens, page rank

[johnlim]

Hi,

Page rank of many pages in our sites become white because of duplicate contents with another site.

Now we completely change the contents in this site, will the page rank of these pages come back? Since we have move the duplicate contents.

If yes, how long we need to wait for the page rank (now become white) come back?

There is no way to say for certain that is why you when white, or if you did for any reason at all. It is rare for dupe content to cause a complete pr0.

Indeed, duplicate content normally doesn't cause a PR0. Moreover, if pages are merged the backlinks (and therefore PR and anchor text) are added (as explained here [webmasterworld.com]).
