You could make the backup pages inaccessible in protected directorys or zipped files, or maybe robots.txt could help prevent them being indexed? The duplicate content thing is great, it prevents people from putting the same content everywhere. People who get articles from free sites for example, it tends to show a site thrown together quickly and therefore has lesser value. If i did a search for something and the top 20 results contained links to the same article on 20 different domains i wouldn't be too impressed.
It's easier to get higher ranks in MSN i find, thats a result of googles complex system for PRs though i would expect.
You could also consider linking a domain to your account?QuoteBesides, It's only $3 hosting.

My point ledbetter was not that your page has a low page rank, but that PR3 is relatively easy to achieve.
I personally would have expected over 9k links to lead to a higher PR. Are you using duplicate content or have lots of outgoing links?

ledbetter, as it's using true redirects i don't think the links will still count (Not sure if google have something clever going on but as their reply says they will need changing?)
Also, with over 9000 links back your blog is only PR3?! I've got a site which when searching for the domain (www.vizaco.co.uk) returns no results and yet it is PR 4. Another search for another site using "Link: domain.com" returns 11 results and it's PR4 also.
It's about time for another PR update soon anyway?

How did you get http://freepgs.com/ledbetter/wordpress/ to redirect to ledbetter.freepgs.com automatically?
QuoteWe cannot keep this URL active for you.
Thank you,

My advertisers and affiliate accounts (to mention a few) expect exact URLs. This change to a subdomain means I have to change my URL(s) in all those advertising accounts or I will not get credit for clicks etc.
This change to subdomains looks like it will cost me a lot of work.
I would prefer that my URL remain http://www.freepgs.com/ledbetter/
Thanks
