Well use other websites to check the pr of sites. I have heard that the pagerank of the toolbar can be manipulated by websites.
Just type info:domain.com in your google search. If there are no results or if the returned URLs does not match the original URL given then most likely the PageRank is fake. You don't need sophisticated SEO to help you on that.
when I check the PR from third party tools they check the PR from 20 something Google servers. And Toolbar.google.com is one of them.
Just trying to increase my IQ to over 14, so please bare with me. I just tried that info:domain.com on one of my sites, and I got no results. You did say "most likely the PageRank is fake" so I guess there are some cases when this does not hold true. (My PR is 0, hardly worth faking really aye ) So why would a site that is indexed by Google come back with no results? TIA for the IQ boost Cheers James
Try different websites before buying any pr product like link or domain name . If it is fake than everyone display separate results .
some online tools that can check valid PR http://thepagerank.info/ http://www.validrank.com http://www.checkpagerank.net try to compare results from different resources
For those having IQ more than 14, they not even need the google or other search engines at all. Why do those with 14+ come and waste ur time here. If someone asks for a help, try to solve their problem. Instead of showing ur IQ and other things shows itz fully waste to have 14+
