The site is currently showing a PR of 5 with 98 backlinks. However the links and PR are for another (probably the default IIS site) site hosted on the same server that is running IIS 5 (same IP). The site has it's own domain name.
The pages from the new site were fresh indexed on the 26th of Feb and are coming up in searches in goo dpositions (which I imagine isn't going to last long due to the fresh bonus and possibly the false PR having an effect too?).
I've never seen this before and have a couple of theories as follows:
1. IIS is setup to use a crappy method of virtual servers that relies on the browser and for some strange reason Google sees the new site as being the same one as the established one. Because it doesn't support the crappy IIS virtual server methods?
2. Once the new site is in the full index the PR will drop to it's real PR and backlinks to other site will disappear.
I don't like either of my theories but can't come up with any better suggestions. Why does Google see this site as being another one in terms of PR and links?
Cheers,

maybe the freshbot can't make a difference. so ip is used for pre-calculate a pr for that site which has not a 'true own' pr. same with the backlinks.
but i can hardly imagine. on my virtual servers it ain't the same. it's apache httpd, but i don't think this will make a difference for google at all.
