Fake PageRank Anyone?

Posted on Apr 21, 2010 in Blog | 10 comments

Some of the big talk these days is fake pagerank. Many people just look at a website that checks pagerank and if the website tells them it is fake or forged they believe it!

I can say this is not always true. It is very important that you do the research yourself to see what is going on with the domain. You want to go to Google and type in this without the quotes “info:domainname.com” now when it returns a result it should say the name of the domain that you entered in. If it does not say the name you entered in then the pagerank is faked.

So how is pagerank faked?
You can mask a domain so that it points to another domain that has pagerank. So then the pagerank from the domain that you are pointed to looks like it is on the domain that is being masked.

Sometimes on websites it will say that the www. is forged and the non www. is not. This just simple means that the domain is setup to use the non www. format. So if you were to go to wwww.mydomain.com it would redirect you to mydomain.com without the www. This does not mean the pagerank is forged, simple that the pagerank is on the non www. url address.
