I happened to buy fake PR deleted domain, some days back, I know not easy to make money from this.

Meanwhile I will make backlinks but I don't want its PR to go down.

What is the way around.

    There is no way around it. The PR will disappear when Google updates. It's a given. Why exactly did you buy a fake PR domain?

    Why didn't you do a little bit of due diligence before you bought? How much were you burned, if I don't mind asking? What was the PR claimed to be?

          Well for $5 - chance can be taken, may be if I get good PR juice then probably I will change it to real PR5 with quality content and backlinks.

        Fake PR is from redirecting google bots to a real PR 5 domain.. To keep that PR, keep it redirected, but only for bots, not users. Backlinks won't help. But that isn't really a whitehat thing to do, so you could have issues when trying to rank it..

    This should be lesson learned. You always have to do the due diligence before buying expired domains. It's so easy to buy a lemon these days.

    Just take it as a lesson learned to always check the PR before buying in the future. I good place to do this is checkpagerank.net

      You are SOOL. (and not the so cool definition)

      Make backlinks to what exactly?

      FORGET BACKLINKS until you have created a site worth being on the web and a valid business.

        I might find a way as google is not updating PR so frequently now a days.

    You want to do them the same way you were treated?

    So you bought a fake PR5 domain for $5.
    So it's the price of the domain only, not the price for PR5.
    So if you like the domain, then no problem.

    A client of mine purchased an existing domain with a PR3. I immediately put up a WP blog for him, gave it a name based on the URL address, and made sure it had some content relevant to the URL name/niche. He's had it for a year now and we've maintained the PR3 so far.

    A problem is when you buy domains that have nothing to do with your niche and then try to do something else with it. For example, I don't want to visit ilovecats.com (just an example) and find posts about a weight loss supplement.

    you cant even call that "getting burned".

    5$ thats like spilling a beer, move on.

    The experience you had and the lesson you learned are easily worth the 5 bucks

      Actually, the PR was never really there. It doesn't matter what the toolbar says.

      Google updates PR all the time. Constantly. They just do not update the toolbar that often, but what the toolbar says doesn't really mean anything.

      Content has NOTHING to do with PR.

      That only fools the toolbar, not Google. Google knows its real PR.

      Never understood why people get so hung up on PR. It's like the Alexa ranking...meaningless.

      It's about site quality, traffic and revenue. Buy that or create it and you won't go far wrong.

        Because they know more about how things work than you apparently.
