Okay, so the title was a little catchy, but it's true. I own a website that has a Google Page Rank of 10 currently.
Yes, obviously it was achieved using blackhat seo, but I was honestly amazed as to just how easy it was to perform this very very simple trick.
It took me about 5 minutes to implement this trick, and cost about $8. And I honestly don't care about getting banned because this is just a throw away domain. Nothing of use is on that domain.
Oh, and if you want to hide the fact that you did this trick, you can alter the trick to give you an instant Page Rank of 9, 8, 7 or 6... it's totally up to you. Obviously my domain is very obvious that the page rank is fake.
Yeap, I got it, a big fat page rank 10 domain…so what…big deal…lol….but it was fun doing it. :=)

That'd be more stupid than unscrupulous McMohan ;-)
If it was you would think that a site listed under "widgets" in the google directory with a high Page Rank would feature above other lower pagerank sites under the "Widgets" search
Im taking about an exact search on the exact directory sector here not an associated search.
Clearly, Page Rank is not as imprortant as it once was
That'd be more stupid than unscrupulous McMohan
lol. Yes, if it is definitive that those sites should fail. But, with couple of dollars and minutes needed to create and a pagerank update to wait, it might be worth a try nevertheless. There will always be gullible PR buyers, buying for the sake of PR.
You mean there are actual living, breathing idiots who will link to some crap site because they think it's a PR 10?
See msg #5
I have over 29 messages received in the past 12 hours all asking for the code so that they can use it.
I don't think that I should post the code, however if they really wanted to learn the trick they can simply search for it...it's out there... just go and find it :=)

Excellent. Lets keep in mind that there are also few people from outside these forums who also read your post and might use your "trick" to cheat others to purchase IBLs, with no real value, from them.
How can I send these guys my money?
Duh!

I suggest that there goes your credibility on this forum, JW - you've posted over and over again that you have something that you wont' share with this forum.
If you have something to share, share it.
If you won't share, kindly save our bandwidth.
And thank you to others who posted sample code that lets us evaluate black and white SEO without all this "drama" and wasted posts.

Okay somebody make up their mind. First some members are asking me to keep my code to myself to prevent alot of webmasters from using the trick to deceive others and to use it for fraudulant reasons. Now I get people saying that I'm a moron for not posting the hack?
Do you want me to tell you the stinking hack or not? Somebody make up their mind. Just be aware that probably alot of webmasters will probably be doing it for th enext Google PR update, so I warned you. Don't ask for info that you don't really want others to have.
Again, I do not think that a mod will allow the hack specifics, but if they are allowed, and forum members want to see it, then I will post it here.
They also would not post the code.
Either put up, or shut up.
How can we talk about YOUR code when you won't post it?
If your not going to post it, then just let this thread die.
<I vote some moderator should please mercifully terminate this thread with extreme prejudice.>
Good morning folks
IMHO, it was a very wise decision from the mods to allow for this thread.
Guess why?
It is A FRAUD WARNING...WARNING...WARNING!
Think twice before purchasing IBLs from a site which has what you think a high PR. Because what you see isn´t always what you get and pay for.
And thats the message of this thread.
Shouldn´t we after all thank the mods for that?
<Okay, I will post the code...>
Do you really wish to show others how to cheat?
Well, should I or shouldn I?
<Well, should I or shouldn I?>
I suggest that you first write a sticky to one or all the mods asking for their advise on this subject.

Basically all you are doing is adding one line of code to your .htaccess file.
The short sweet and simple method....
1.) Paste this line of code in your .htaccess file
Redirect 301 /index.html [google.com...]
And your done! Notice that your homepage will now suddenly redirect to Google, but all other pages will still work fine. After the next Google PR update, remove that line of code in your .htacess file, and if you look at that page it will have a PR 10!
::::Commonly Asked Questions!::::
Q.) How do I make A certain page other than my homepage have a pr10?
A.) Simply edit the 1 line of code to show the page you want to have the page rank 10. Let's say you want your links page to have an instant pr10, you would use this line of code in your .htaccess file.
Redirect 301 /links.html [google.com...]
Q.) How do I customize the instant page rank that I receive? For example I want my website to have a page rank of 9...8...7...or 6 to make it look less obvious that the site used blackhat seo
A.) Simply change the url of the destination url in the code. For example..
If you want an instant page rank 9 domain use this code..
Redirect 301 /index.html [my.yahoo.com...]
If you want an instant page rank 8 domain use this code...
Redirect 301 /index.html [fortunecity.com...]
If you want an instant page rank 7 domain use this code...
Redirect 301 /index.html [netfirms.com...]
Basically look at the site that you put into the code and you will receive the exact same page rank as that website during the next pr update.
Enjoy.
After the next Google PR update, remove that line of code in your .htacess file, and if you look at that page it will have a PR 10!
... until the next PR update, when it will revert back to PR 0 or whatever it was previously.
So for those who want to indefinitely redirect their home page to google, this method works fine...

Unless you put back the code before the next pr update!
You may as well just have done something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Googlebot*
RewriteRule ^/$http://www.google.com/ [L,R=301]
That would have the same effect as the code on page 1. It's all the same trick just executed in different ways and at the end of the day they're all just as completely useless as each other. Google will never index any of your pages using this trick.
