Saw this on sedo : PR 6 http://www.my-ip.info/ siteindexed in May 26 in msn site has 1 page indexed [SIZE=-1]Results 1 - 1 of about 2 from my-ip.info for . (0.20 seconds) site has 0 backlinks in google site has 8-20 visitors per day Created On:14-Sep-2005 21:55:37 UTC Please explain me what for is this Page Rank , for me it looks like one of the biggest scams on the internet. At least in this case this page competes for one of the most uselles pages on the internet but has an importance of 6/10 for Google [/SIZE]
Humm.... Interesting. I would also like to hear some thoughts on this one. How can it be. If 0 backlinks then why PR 6?
Its PR could be faked (not likely for this site) or it could be 'genuine'. Either way it will change to 0 at the next update.
PR has been broken for months, I have a couple new domains parked at sedo that now have a PR. The title should be proof that pr is broken.
probably but till than this guy will scam somebody to buy his site for the pr. 300$ is cool for this 2 minute page this guy is a genius
anyone who doesn't do their homework to check backlinks etc. has it coming It's possible and quite easy to spoof PR bnow, so you need to be careful with these sorts of things.
The website has over 2790 backlinks comming from various websites. http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&p=link:http://www.my-ip.info/&fr=sfp&dups=1 Pagerank is verified. http://www.database-search.com/sys/pre-check-en.php

Pagerank explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank Great article about pagerank. http://www.compar.com/infopool/articles/PR-calculation.html
PR is basically a popularity contest. That's the way I see it anyways. I agree that it's not useless....I mean, the more popular your site, the more people that will link to your site. The more links coming in, the more exposure your site gets.
Last PR update by Google was a BIG JOKE. A sub domain for my site linked only by the main domain got PR 5 whereas the main domain is only PR 2. I have searched alot since that day and there is no backlink for my sub domain.
Yahoo! backlinks don't factor into google's PR algorithm. Google has their own backlinks that they use to calculate PR. What WhatiFind might have been talking about is that since there are a lot of backlinks reported by Yahoo!, it could be that Google once had a lot of backlinks for this site when they calculated that PR value but due to current updates and infrastructure changes in Google, they may be no longer counting these backlinks but the old PR is still being displayed because there hasn't been a PR export with the newly calculated PR value. If the site has 0 backlinks in Google and there isn't a glitch then the next update should show PR 0 for this site. True, PageRank has nothing to do with your SERPs but your SERPs factor in your PageRank: http://www.google.com/technology/
Google doesn't show all backlinks and only updates backlinks every few months usually. Yahoo backlinks are a much better indicator of the incoming links than Google is, that is why he used Yahoo's figures. And, back on the correlation between PR and serps... well, let me ask you something. If you had 10,000 backlinks with the anchor "apples" and it got you a PR6, how is that going to help your serps for other targetted terms like "oranges" and "mangos"? It's not. Well not directly, it will pass some linking power to your internal links that will help count as 'votes' for those terms. So, that is the how PR relates to traffic - not directly but indirectly.
Google backlinks are kind of broken. Yahoo siteexplorer usually shows better results, and for that site it is Inlinks (2,025)
