Well, they frame their links page with their root, so it shows the PR of the root though it "appears" that you are on the links page.

Two great variations on that theme:

1. Have a PR5-7 page and frame a geocities or netfirms page and put all the links on there. They link to your site and you're not linking to theirs, geocities is. This works a charm on webmasters who don't check the coding, simply check the link works.

2. Put the framed page with all the links in robots.txt:

e.g. have the links page:

[example.com...]

as a framed page with FRAME SOURCE:

[example.com...]

and put

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/

in robots.txt Most webmasters miss this as even though they check the robots.txt file they fail to connect the dots as cgi-bin is so common to see in robots.txt and in their minds eye they are searching for the /links/ folder.
