[OT] If Checkpagerank says VALID PR it isn't VALID always

Hello fellow DP members

There has been a flaw in the Checkpageranking.com algorithm recently. This is by far the most favorite tool for checking the validity.

Starting a couple a days Check Pagerank has been showing a lot of cloaked/forged/fake PR domains as VALID. Please don't get carried away by this.

Domain sellers are capitalizing this opportunity.

STEPS to be done before buying.

METHOD 1
- Check for validity in different tools
http://www.validrank.com
http://digpagerank.com

Don't rely on one tool.


Example:

Checkpagerank says VALID
http://www.checkpageranking.com/index.php?name=buyappraisal.com&links=1

In reality - FAKE
http://www.validrank.com/report/buyappraisal.com
http://www.digpagerank.com/index.php?url=www.buyappraisal.com&dc=18

METHOD 2: This is even more reliable

Go to Google.com
Type info:domainname

If the domain URL comes as the only result then it is valid.

Example
VALID
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&suggon=0&q=info:forums.digitalpoint.com&btnG=Search

FAKE
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&suggon=0&q=info:buyappraisal.com&btnG=Search

The Pagerank is cloaked from a different domain.

METHOD 3

Check the Google cache

Type cache:domainname

Example
VALID

http://72.14.235.104/search?hl=en&q=cache:techcrunch.com&btnG=Search

FAKE

http://72.14.235.104/search?hl=en&suggon=0&q=cache:buyappraisal.com&btnG=Search

A different domain is cached.

METHOD 4

Use your common sense.
If a seller gives a 1 month old domain with a valid PR5 then it ought to be dropped or fake.

Check the back links and see if the PR of the domain is justified.

MODS: I felt this information will be of help to fellow buyers and sellers. If it doesn't fit in kindly move to appropriate forum.

CHEERS

 

nice guide... yes, use multiple checkers..
thanks.

 

Cool! Well compiled information

This one checks for fake PageRank and validates the Alexa ranking as well.

 

I cant send you private message, it said you exceeded. I made a choice and want to buy now.

 

Yeah, thats really matters
always dont trust only one site related to Pagerank.
i always check 2-3 sites for checking PR, and that CHACHE: and INFO: really helps

Thanks for the info buddy


EDITED:
http://www.validrank.com/ is FAKE or USELESS
Its showing my PAGERANK as Suspicious PR
We cannot determine the PR of this website.
Not found in Google's Cache.

and you can check it is present in Google cache and also check its Info:
everything is OK (My Blog: www.orangmuda.com)

Also check the site for GOOGLE.com and be ready for Shocking news, it shows Google .com has FAKE PR !!



so DONT USE validrank.com

 

As of late, I'm finding a lot of PR6/5 domains that give other URLs on using 'info:link' on Google and checkpagerank says that PR are valid. duh

 

digpagerank uses the best technique available its most reliable tool.

 

I think you are the proud owner of DigPagerank.com
