I saw a website with a pagerank about 2/10 when I checked the backward links using google toolbar...there are no backward links. Why? hope anyone can answer Thanks
Google doesn't present all the backlinks to the public. Only if you own the website and register it in the Google webmaster tools can you get a real idea of your true backlinks, and that's only updated every month or so, and we have no idea if it's a realistic number. For example, one of my sites shows 291 backlinks when using the link: operator on the Google homepage, but over 30,000 in the webmaster tools.
Because it might be a new website as well as google is not showing the real backlinks, use yahoo for some real results: siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com
if there (www.backlinkwatch.com) is no backlinks, then this site can be subdomain or somebody redirected pr by 301.
if you have nobacklinks, it's not possible you to have page rank. i think it was a google toolbar bug. i suggest you to use digpagerank.com to check the page rank
maybe its a fake PR! I will share to you how its done! I read it in an article. 1. How to fake PageRank and how to find websites with faked PR Although most professional search engine optimizers agree that the green PageRank display has little to do with the actual performance of a website in Google and other search engines, many webmasters still focus on websites with a high PageRank when it comes to link building and website promotion. How to fake the PageRank of a website The PageRank of a web page can be faked with a combination of a 301 redirect and cloaking. It works like this: * When a search engine spiders visits a web page URL, the server redirects the spider to a web page with high PageRank. * Google assigns the high PageRank to the page with the redirection because it thinks that the pages are identical. * When a human web surfer visits the web page URL, the server does not redirect the surfer. That means that the web surfer sees the web page of the faker and the Google toolbar displays the PageRank of the redirected URL: To web surfers, it looks as if the web page has a very high PageRank although it hasn't. Note that this method doesn't increase the rankings of the page in any way. It just influences the PageRank display in Google's toolbar. Google doesn't like cloaking at all so you risk the rankings of your website if you use the method above. How to check if a website has a faked PageRank If you think that a web page might have a faked PageRank then you can do the following simple check: * Search Google for "info:domain.com" (without the quotation marks, replace domain.com with the domain that you want to check). * If there are no results or if the returned URLs don't match the original URL then it's likely that the PageRank has been faked. If Google returns only one URL for the query and if the URL is the same as the checked URL then the PageRank is okay. What about the PageRank of your own website? The green pixels in Google's toolbar are not important. It's important that your website has high rankings for keywords that convert to sales. Website promotion is about getting leads and sales. It's not about getting green pixels. Don't focus on the PageRank display in Google's toolbar but try to get good rankings for keywords that are relevant to your website. High rankings for relevant keywords that convert to sales are much better than having a lot of green pixels.
you need to check backlink (www.backlink.com) and at the same time check their history (www.archive.org ) and last check when the domain is register ( www.dnscoop.com) then you will have some idea why the site have PR2 but no backlink. Its possible that it is come from drop domain.
