How do you fake PR?

I am curious, how do people fake their site's PR?

I have checked a few offers of link sales and they do not show up in Google tool bar and when I check www.checkpagerank.net they are showed as forged.

Does this mean they are really forged or could it be a mistake?

All the ones that show up forged on Check Page Rank show NA in the Google tool bar. Are there that many that are forging PR?

 

Read here, what a fake pr is and how to recognize it.

 

good post , i need it too

 

Look at the cached version of the page.

If it is faked, you will see the site that it redirects to, rather than the original site.

 

I did not know that, thanks for the information.

Johnson, great article, answers a lot of questions about that. Thanks!

 

I think you are selling website or you just want to impressed your client. Anyways fake PR can easily detect.

 

I am doing neither, I do not want to fake PR, I was wondering how it is done so I can detect the true fakes. I do not need dishonest tactics to make money, all my dealings are clearly laid out and are legit. If you look through the link section and run a lot of sites, you will find claims that are faked. I was wondering, as I first stated, if all these are really faked or if they could be just mistakes.

As you can see by both my rep and my iTrader, I do not play those games and I am offended that you openly accuse someone who has such a record.

Red was added from me and as you can see, I even sign those!

 

A good post...Tnank to Johnson...Is it yours?

 

PR can never be faked.. Since there a lots of Live PR checker online... But whats the fuss? PR in the toolbar is actually months old... Heheheh.

 

spurious redirections can give you fake PR, but what will one do with it, even a scammer will not try to do that with all those PR checking tools available online, its a waste of time i say
