    I am currently coding a natural pagerank checker. In my tests I uncovered a rather large fake pr farm, please beware the following domains:
    Also beware any domains linked to:


    ip = 67.23.225.157
    nameserver = ns5.hawkhost.com
    nameserver = ns6.hawkhost.com
    please run your own whois checks, I wont give out a persons details here
    ​



    ip = 64.202.189.170
    nameserver = ns29.domaincontrol.com
    nameserver = ns30.domaincontrol.com
    please run your own whois checks, I wont give out a persons details here
    ​



    ip = 50.23.65.197
    nameserver = ns5.hawkhost.com
    nameserver = ns6.hawkhost.com
    please run your own whois checks, I wont give out a persons details here
    ​



    ip = 209.190.61.15
    nameserver = ns1.byethost30.org
    nameserver = ns2.byethost30.org
    please run your own whois checks, I wont give out a persons details here
    ​



    ip = 216.172.178.3
    nameserver = ns1.byethost30.org
    nameserver = ns2.byethost30.org
    please run your own whois checks, I wont give out a persons details here
    ​



    ip = 50.23.65.197
    nameserver = ns5.hawkhost.com
    nameserver = ns6.hawkhost.com
    please run your own whois checks, I wont give out a persons details here
    ​



    ip = 68.178.232.100
    nameserver = ns29.domaincontrol.com
    nameserver = ns30.domaincontrol.com
    please run your own whois checks, I wont give out a persons details here
    ​



    Please be aware many thousands of legit domains can also sit on these ips and name servers. You have to check the listed domains again the who is records to know if they are owned by the same person.
    This is just a quick sample of just one of the farms uncovered. The natural pagerank tool will be available very soon.

    Hope this helps someone :)

    No problem, these fakers need to be exposed and stop stealing money you have spent long hours to earn.

    Glad to help :)

    Hey! Can anybody confirm if this domain gooooood.net PR is fake? According to OSE, it redirects somewhere. Also, I remember something with hawkhost at ns :( Btw, thanks for the helpful information out here!

    In about week you will be able to check yourself. But for now best checks:
    - alexa rank
    - backlinks (good backlink checker, nothing free)
    - archive.org
    - who.is is an amazing tool for checking server info, but checking other domains on the server takes ages.

    Bottom line, if you think a url is fake, even just a hint, run. Run a mile. Dont waste your money.

    Let me know when you finish this I have been waiting to call domains sellers out for a while. They dont guarantee pr because even though they say valid pr4 once you put it to your own ip it goes to PR0 and they say its ur fault....RIGHT...
