How the heck do these kind of weird domain names (http://www.gzxymkj.com) get a Page Rank of 5?

This is another proven example of "PR is not a true website indicator anymore".

Since the above site have got 2 backlinks with PR6, it has got a PR5 in this pagerank update.
So this means its easily to be manipulated than I ever expected.

    It has 2 PR 6 backlinks (1 from gov.cn)

    The links are (I think) not current - so it will eventually lose the PR.
    It's a short term manipulation - not a viable business model.

    PR is just one factor in ranking algorithm.

    If this is how PR can be cheated, I think anyone can pay people for getting a single link from a gov website and boost the PR in a single day!

      No. Sites with authority that have PR will boost your site's PR. It just happens that many .gov and .edu domains have authority status. Some never have it or have been overrun by spammers and no longer have any authority in Google's algorithmic eyes.

        So you mean some of the .gov and .edu domains have fake pageranks.

            How do you do this, as many edu sites do not have any place to post comments?

          No, just that they no longer have authority because they've been flagged as "free for all" link spamming sites by Google.

          For example, the Baylor University law school blog was recently taken down for this reason. Every post had 100's of spam comments simply because they had left comments open and unmoderated. The pages had PR, typically 4-6, but passed no PR "juice" to sites linked to in the comments.

          .edu and .gov pages can have value. I have sites that have .edu links from student and staff pages. But 'free-for-alls' won't do you much good.

            2nd that...

            Link Dilution...Every outbound link on a page uses some of the PR juicyness, so if a site has one link on it, that link is getting the full bottle of "PR Juice", two links and it has to be split, 100 links and each site is only receiving 1/100 of the potential authority of the linking page. After a while, there is just too many damn links to be worthwhile, regardless of the authority.

            *And I know that example is a bit of an over simplification of the algorithm, but it demonstrates the premise.

            That is actually a major, if not the major reason for the existence of "no follow". So webmasters can decide who gets passed juice and who doesn't, rather than making it an all or nothing proposition. You can link to someone without actually "vouching" for them.

    A domain with high pagerank not necessary having a lot of backlinks or great contents. Sometime the PR is just "heritage" from other high PR domain that linked to them.

    Some blackhatter can fake the domain PR by just adding a few lines of code, hoping to increase the price of their domain.

    there is no faking or manipulation about it. backlinks on high page rank pages will raise your sites page rank, it's very simple.

    There are indeed ways to fake a sites Pr in order to sell the site and many people use it. Aside from the method that involves using coding there are quite a few people that own various high pr websites spread out over different class c ips.

    They use these sites to point links at new domains to achieve a higher PR, sell the sites and then remove all of the links and then rinse and repeat.

      We all manipulate PR. That's how you do it.
      Get as many high PR backlinks as possible.
      Some people are more successful at it.

      But PR and traffic are not synonymous.

      I should point out that domains don't get PR.
      Web pages do. The domain does not have PR.
      The website currently residing there has the PR.
