    I've been seeing more then a handful of URLs being sold, or links on them being sold with fake pr.
    I've bid on 3, and then found out its fake, glad I didn't win..lol

    here is a tool someone posted that I've saved in my bookmarks

    http://www.seologs.com/pr-check/pagerank.html?url=
    http://www.seologs.com/pr-check/pagerank-dc.html from the same site,,
    and
    http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/pagerank-search/

    the first link has been the best help for me, but I check all 3 links when i think about buying a site, or a link on the site..

    do you guys think there are a lot of fake pr sites being sold ? should or do infractions get sent for this ? or is it sometimes a hard thing to prove ?

    May I ask a question?
    How did you find out that the PR is fake? I'm new to this fake PR thing and hoping to learn more about it.

    It's always a good idea to check the cached page. ;)

    99% of the sites sold on eBay have fake PR. Its one of the reasons I don't even bother looking over there.

    It should also be noted that Paypal doesn't consider it fraud so you will never get a refund

    Because they are a bad neighborhood

    301 redirect to a site that has the PR you want then after the PR update, change it back

    One problem though - Your subpages never have PR ;)
