Hi, I am new to link building, and I am now looking for related site to build links. 1. Can someone share how to validate the PR rank of site? 2. What does it mean by fake PR and how do a fake PR exist? 3. If I can see PR on Google toolbar, does it mean it is REAL? 4. Besides PR, anything other ranking criteria to look at. Sorry for so many questions at one time, but your assistance is highly appreciated. Thank you. KP
http://www.seologs.com/pr-check/pagerank.html http://tools.webmastershome.com/check_fake_page_rank here are some tools to check for fake pr
I made a blog post on this a few days ago. When checking for fake pagerank dont use those any tools. Do the work yourself or you can get screwed. Read my post. Those tools should be taken offline if you ask me!
If you are using firefox, please consider firefox add on where you can see the valid pr of the site that you are browsing. Additional, you can review alexa ranking too. http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/ Alternative is you can check the pagerank of each site on 89 Google servers via www.zinway.com.
You can use Mong's Dig page rank for this purpose. If the page rank is real it will be displayed in green, if it is fake it will be displayed in red. url is http://www.digpagerank.com/
