Rotten PR sites (how do you spot 'em?)

Hi

I've heard some talk about web-sites which boast up their PR (after the first update their PR jumps way up), but eventually lose it completely.

There is a way of spotting those type of sites by examining yahoo's siteexplorer results.

Do you know what you have to look for?

    An easy way is to check the number of backlinks they have.

    The higher the number of backlinks usually equals the higher the PR

    Not totally accurate, but works most of the time..

      Yep, there is a detailed chart with that info (will post if I find it)

      I am asking more about what kinds of inbound links will be disregarded by Google eventually (thus the PR of the domain will drop)

        Guys that's it?

        If someone sells you a PR6 domain and you will probably want to check those links.
