hello guys, english is not my language so excuse me if my English is not correct.... i'm a newbie in this field i'm asking how to detect fake page rank??? because i tried to buy a new domains with high page rank i got some offers with 6 page rank but when i checked the domain i found that it's just registered few months ago!!!!!... when i check it's backlinks i found it's zero!!!!!! i didn't get just one offer i got many and the problem with all of them are the same they are new... they have no backlinks in google.... i think these guys do the following.. they have a valid 6 pr domain let's say it's olddomain.com so they redirect this domain using the .htaccess so the pr transfered from the old domain to the new domain so when i buy the new domain it has a pr of 6 then they remove the .htaccess from the old domain so when the google update it's page rank the doamin will return back to its' original pr which maybe it's zero... i use the following site to check the doamin backlinks and get some usefull data http://www.opensiteexplorer.org it helps me to check the domain authority and other data but i wanna is there any way to detect the fake page rank some sites claim they do that....but really it's not true like the fllowing http://www.seomastering.com/fake-pagerank-checker.php it shows wrong data because i have a domain with pr3 but it got from my old site which i use the .htaccess to transfer the page rank from the old one to that one.... so the new one technically has pr 0 ........ can any one say something about the right way to detect fake page rank???????????????
you should check the backlinks. A domain with PR must have backlinks to support it. try these: http://majesticseo.com http://ahrefs.com for PR checkers: http://cekpr.com also check the history if there is redirection use http://archive.org Also check google if the site shows: info:www.domainname.com Please do these before purchasing a domain. Dropped domains are risky unless they have many backlinks. I hope that helps. Good luck!
Without google we can't detect if PR of a site is fake or not because only google hold the privilege to detect fake PR.
