You have mentioned this process numerous times now yet when asked, you refuse to tell people how to do it. I asked you personally and you refused. If your so against pagerank, tell people how to do this and it will have a much bigger effect than just coming here and saying, " Hey everybody, I'm so great because I can fake pagerank, but I'm not telling you how to do it." Sorry, but I'm sick of hearing about it. If we know how to do it, we can look for sites that are doing it and "save us some cash". Either tell us how to do it, or quit talking about it.

I'm with phpdude, either cough up the info or quit bragging about it! Besides, PR is just one of the factors Google uses to rank pages, so a high PR in the end may not mean that much. Many feel like PR is being deprecated somewhat anyway, due in part to abuse...perhaps by people faking Page Rank?

He's not bragging, he's alerting you to a real problem. How the effect is achieved is not exactly something that should be discussed on an open message board! All I'll say is that if you're considering spending significant sums for a link from a site that apparently has high PR (or maybe even buying a site) check out their backlinks very, very, very carefully and make sure they are what they seem.

Here is one way to do it. Make a domain an alias of a high PR site. Give it a link, so it gets indexed. Wait for the PR to update. Stop aliasing the domain. Voila! Your site has the same PR as the target site. Not a secret anymore.

Yep. And someone looking at the backlinks will notice you have the same identical links as Yahoo! Weird, because they never heard of your site.

> someone looking at the backlinks will notice you have the same identical links Yep, which is how people can save some cash if they still think it's useful to buy PR.

As a hacker (as opposed to a cracker; if you don't know the difference look it up), if I knew how to fake PR posting here how to do so wouldn't be the way to go. What he needs to back up his claim is some highly credible people who won't reveal this publicly to confirm it.

Before buying high PR links, the buyer should verify that indeed the page legitimately has them. There is just NO way to have a PR9 page without having high power backlinks. Check out those linking pages and see if they really are linking to the page you want to buy a link on.

internetheaven, thanks for the warning. phpdude, I believe PatrickDeese has answered the question :) There have been many "directories" that have gone on a massive link exchange spree after getting a high PR. Then the PR of the home page dropped but the IBLs they had acquired to internal pages continued to provide them PR benefit. Common trick. Buying links for PR is pretty much a waste of time unless you hope to sell PR yourself... or are prettifying your site prior to sale.

Let me guess... <?php
/* insert your favorite cloaking script here to detect whether the visitor is Googlebot */
if (Googlebot) {
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.google.com/">';
exit();
}
else {
echo "<p>My PR10 page!</p>";
}
?> Of course, the page wouldn't rank at all, but it should be enough to change the color of the little green bar. This kind of thing is being done for parked domains for sale, has been for years, and it is far from being a state secret.

Thanks to all who posted on what to look for! All I wanted was some real info as to what to look for when sites ask for link exchanges. If they are faking PR, I don't want nothing to do with them. Now that it has been explained, it seems pretty simple. Sometimes the simplist things are the hardest to see because your looking to hard to try and see them!
