Had a signup page on http://iblogget.com which was blocked from start-up get a PageRank of 4 for a while, then it went away. Do they distribute it? Not so much if they are never crawled. JohnMu used to say that a site that doesn't exist could even get PageRank (not sure how you test that, I guess you link to a goofy site that no one would register and then check it) but with handjobs for paid links lowering PageRank it is no longer the pure algorithmically driven number that it once was. , now it is becoming an editorial number which most people thought it was any way.

Thought I'd congratulate them when I saw them offer information, and then thought I'd point out information available elsewhere. Not returned yet.
