I have a few questions related to buying websites. They mainly have to do with preventing from being scammed. How do I buy a website without being scammed. I am mainly looking for sites with a real Pagerank. How difficult is it for someone to give a fake PR to a site? Could they point all their high pr sites to this one site, wait 6 months for google to update pr and then dump all the links pointing to it? That way when they sell the site it has high pr but after the update, the pr goes to 0?
Search for the domain in Google as "info:whateverdomain.com". There are three likely results and they mean three different things. 1. The domain you requested comes up. All is well. 2. A totally different domain comes up. All is forged. 3. Nothing comes up. -- If it's a recent drop, it is probably waiting to be indexed. -- If it is an aged domain, it may just never have had content (although that should come up as PR0 or no pr). However, it may have been blacklisted. I sell a lot of drop catch PageRank domains. I never put any of them on sale until the come up fully for the test I just described.
