PR-10 domain on auctions

Hi,

This domain is on sale -mylatestgadgets.com

Can someone explain how it got a PR of 10! Info: also shows the PR is not fake. prchecker.info too confirms the PR.

zero backlinks on opensiteexplorer is what holds me back from buying it.

    It is so obviously fake that you don't really need to ask. How many PR10 sites can you find? Google.com probably.

    Even the Daily Mail website, which claims to be one of the most popular newspaper sites in the world, is only PR7

    Edit: Just looked. The site expired in March. It doesn't have a PR

      Thanks for a trivial reply for an equally trivial question

      Can you please let me know which tool you used in this case that shows the pr as zero? I did check with quirk plugin for firefox and prcheckerinfo.com, both show the PR as 10.

      Is there a tool am missing here? More importantly, how can you give a fake PR ?

        He was blowing smoke, because he said PR will vaporize when the domain expires, but if you are buying it, the domain won't be expired for long. The PR won't disappear until the next PageRank update. LOL

        The PR will vaporize on the next update, because it is fake PageRank.

        It is a common scam, where the domain seller does a redirect to an existing PR10 website for a limited amount of time.

        For example, he could have redirected the domain to Google.com for a period of time, then because the domain is believed to be a doorway for Google.com, it gets Google's PageRank.

        As soon as the Redirect is killed, and then Google PageRank updates (which happens 3 times a year), the PageRank will disappear.

          Thanks for the info. Did not know how is it done, but this is quite a major exploit. Google should fix this a.s.a.p.
          Because actually it's not fake, it's a natural genuine pagerank done through a black hat method (it's a paradox).

            Probably a redirect scam, but definitely a scam of some sort!

          I knew it was fake, but your explanation helps for understanding. Thank you.

    NOTICE: This domain name expired on 03/01/2013 and is pending renewal or deletion.

    With only 3 pages indexed in google and they are redirecting to Godaddy, the pagerank is fake.

      When investing it's important to do your homework. If you know enough about Pagerank (which is a crappy metric on its own anyway), you'll know that PR 10 is so high, only a handful of sites have that high of rank. It's a phony offer, if you're investing in sites you should know that at first sight. Time to do more homework, I'd say.
