Google PageRank is obviously important to many webmasters, including me. Recently, when I go to different forums to buy high PR domain, I figure out that there are quite a lot of domains that "claim" to have high PR. In fact, the PR shown in Google Toolbar also indicates the claimed PR. But the truth is...The victim of these scams are normally new webmasters who just jump into the domain market. They have spent several hundreds dollars to buy the new domains, but the truth is they are worthless. In light of that, I am going to discuss some easy ways how you can check a website/domain for a valid Google Page Rank or a fake page rank. So, how to check a fake/forged PageRank as well as a valid PageRankStep :1 ) Check the Google Toolbar. Because many website just add fake PageRank button or image on their website. So, if you have a functional Google Toolbar, you will immediately figure out the fake PR.Step :2 ) Check to see if the page rank showed by Google tool bar is a temporary glitch or not. You may use iWebtool PageRank checker tool or to make sure all the Google data centers are showing the same page rank for a specific domain or webpage.Step :3 ) Check to see if the website or domain PageRank is suspicious or valid by widely used SEOlogs's fake PageRank detection SEO tool and PR checker. In addition, also offers immediate answers on whether the PR is valid or forgedStep :4 ) The last step is to check few back links manually. You should type in the Google search box. This step is very vital because, by following this step you can tell if the domain is using any redirection to achieve fake PageRank or not. Once Google shows all the backlinks in search results page (SERP), click on label "Cached" beside URL. It will show you the Google’s cache of that URL.After you reach one of those Google's cached page, click to view the source code (Click View>"Source" or "Page Source" from your web browser's menu bar) of the webpage and search for the domain name you are trying to check for valid PR. If you do not find the domain name, try another URL from the search result page. If none of the URL shows the domain name in their source code, then you have to come to the conclusion that the domain or website you are checking valid PageRank for, used URL redirection to get fake PR.I hope this post will help you to figure out a fake PageRank or a valid PageRank when you are going to buy a several hundreds domain names.
