How this blog got PR8? Fake one?

Hi,
This is a blog submitted recently to one of my directory. I wonder how this blog got PR8? Because, when i checked this blog (as it was of highest PR in my directory), I wondered there was nothing special content. I checked it with every PR tool it shows PR8. But when checked with google toolbar PR tool, it shows PR 0. Is this Fake PR8?
UPDATE: Sorry here is the Link

 

Can you share the link?

 

Think you forgot the link.

 

I can't find the site in Google's index.

I found 8 backlinks in Yahoo - none with anything more than a PR 2.

I'm stumped.

 

Submitted URL
You entered the url: www.infonias.com

Results from Google
Site Title: Indiana University Bloomington
URL: http://www.iub.edu/
Last Cached Date:Mar 16, 2007
PageRank: 8/10

The submitted domain name: infonias.com
does not match Google results url: iub.edu

This Pagerank is not valid!


Use this tool to check if the pagerank is real or not:

Hmmm, another case of PR fraud.
http://www.checkpagerank.net/index.php?name=infonias.com&links=1

It is actually iub.edu which is a PR8.

 

The pagerank is indeed fake. Momo you're a quick one, you've beat me to it

 

So how this guy is producing wrong PR reading to all other tools?

 

First of all you check the google cache.
There is no way PR8 site wouldn't have a google cache
so there you have it

 

It's PR8 on Google toolbar.. what other pr tools do you use? can you give it to us and compare with google toolbar.. I see PR 8 in google toolbar.

 

that belong to him i believe

It's FRAUD

 

I'm not an expert in this field, but I think that a 301 redirect in htaccess will do that.

I was wondering how the scammers did it, thanks!

 

Thanks for the green . Anyway I did some research on the topic and found out that scammers use a combination of redirects (either .htaccess or PHP server side) and cloaking software (which only sends the search engine bots to the redirected high PR website). It is actually incredibly easy to pull and this is why we see a rise of such frauds.

Bottom line is that you should always check with fake PR detectors before purchasing a high PR link. Typically the spoofed PR is in the range of PR6-PR8 (although any PR can be faked), so you should be extra careful when purchasing such links.

Best regards, George

 

its all a sham!!

 

dunno about you guys but in my Toolbar and also in SEO Quake it is showing 0 PR, with 0 links and 0 index pages... Dont know how come you gusy can see PR 8????

 

In livepr, the site's PR is 0, with no Google backlinks

 

http://www.infonias.com is a pr0 here myfreind.

 

The website has changed. It is no longer faking anything, they dropped the redirect
