That is some thing people used to get a fake PR. I wonder if that black hat technique still works? As I think google may have done some changes in their algo to prevent such fake PR techniques to work.
Wow, that is a great trick. But as people say, PR does not mean much unless you are selling a site, and if you use this method, it is fraud.
Seems the site httpseo.com is a PR-N/A it is also MIA, cant find it! May have been an experiment that turned sour? or maybe someone bought the domain with PR, when it turned N/A are letting it drop? Domain Name: HTTPSEO.COM Created on: 28-Aug-07 Expires on: 28-Aug-08 Cheers James
you wouldn't even need a fake pr checker for a stunt like that all you would have to do is cache:httpseo.com and Google would return a result of: This is Google's cache of http://www.google.com/. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on 20 Aug 2008 13:38:45 GMT. The current page could have changed in the meantime. Learn more
i was thinking for this code, i have to try at one domain name doing another trick with this code. p.s: of course u will get banned within a second :L if use this code as is! ill test some tehcniques, which hide some things and see the result,
Yeah, it's quite old but it used to work in the past... a year or two ago I have implemented in a spare domain i have and on the next PR update I got rewarded with a fake PR Am not sure if it's still working any more!
You could also use that for lower PRs like PR5 and then selling. It's genius, but it can be proven fake.
lol nobody would believe you though because you would have a PR 10 and an alexa ranking as low as 1,000,000 in some cases if not lower. To have a PR 10 in reality, you would at least have to be in the top 50,000.
Alexa rankings have no effect on pagerank at all, I have seen PR5 websites with rankings at like 1,000,000 whereas I've also seen PR0 websites at around 80,000. Alexa rankings are very inaccurate, don't have any effect on anything luckily.
