New PR fraud method detected - Google please fix this !

I don't think it is Fake PR, but the PR may not be credible. You must check the backlinks of this website. Use majecticseo.com and check it out. It has very less links that too not so credible links. I would expect a PR 6 links to have atlease few hundreds of links, some credible links from high PR website. So its just not a matter of PR as many said. We have to analyze the backlink profile of such sites and determine if it is worth the shot.

 

Have you Google the term "dirname"?
you can't even find the site!
is it a PR6 site? you have the answer.

 

You have a point here. But I can argue that the term 'dirname' is an unix based computer program that is so popular that many sites like wikipedia has an entry. This has basically pushed down this site for ranking from this term.

However I don't agree that this directory is credible because of my above equation on backlinks.

 

Yes, LOTS of fakes and scams here in the domain selling section.

PR site which is FIVE DAYS old? Lol!

Those people should be banned because DP is becoming a joke with such people selling domains.

 

Any opinion how easy/difficult is to manipulate SEOMoz PA or DA? May be it is next golden boy!!
@Samdar Hats off to you..
PS:Mafia lol

 

Thanks samdar for the awareness

 

thanks samdar for educating us about fake PR..

 

Thanks for the info.

 

this thread certainly opened my eyes. And yes DP is littered with Fake PR sites. Its a bit of a joke.

 

nice share,,

from this thread I will be more aware to buy a domain from some sellers

 

Awesome share mate. I think i may have found another fake PR being sold here. PR 4 for a 2 month old domain? Really?

 

Super share thanks.

 

See other atopdirs, btopdirs and others.. they got all PR 9..

 

Sambdar, you have created a whistle blowing thread. Hats off to you.

 

This is the first time I saw this kind of website that has PR 9.. Interesting topic here.

 

how to know. it's PR fraud ?

 

Not a simple question.

- Go to www.majesticseo.com and see its backlinks profile. If there is no solid PR links, it is more likely fraud.
- Go to archives.org and see the history of domains. Some times the redirected version gets cached and you can find here.

Typically I have seen PR 7 cost starting from $4,500 and some goes till $35,000. If some one is offering less than this it is more likely to be fraud. Same time PR 8 cost starts from $10,000 and they are really really rare. In my experience I have never seen a legitimate PR 9 for sale.

 

Can't archive.org pickup on this?

 

You can disable access to archive bot.

 

Yes it can - Sometimes.

That's what scamers do Why should legitimate people hide when there is nothing fishy! Think about it...
