How do you get such high PR on such a new site?

  • Holy wow! You're right! That's insane. I really can't think of how they did it. I kind of want to know though.
  • PR 4? My oh My. Can someone please find out what happened and report back to us?

    • It's been registered before, 17th March is the most recent registration.
  • The PageRank was faked, and came from womenshappiness.com

    Read this post to find out how it was done.. Faking PageRank

    As Patricia said above, the domain has been around. More than likely it had been permanently redirected to womenshappiness.com, expired, then picked up and registered again - still keeping the faked pagerank... at least for the time being, as it will disappear.

    • You are correct.

      One way to see if a site's PR is spoofed is to type info:getmentocommit.com
      and see what Google returns as a result.

      In this case it returned womenshappiness.com which is a PR4 site.

      Have a Great Day!

    • If getmentocommit.com is redirecting to womenshappiness.com, how come I don't see the redirect?

      Is this a cloaking thing where Google sees one thing and I see another?
  • It just depends on where they put the redirect. They can forward on the domain level so you never see the redirect.

  • The domain is no longer redirecting. It had been redirected in the recent past, which is proven by the technique that Mr. Mayo pointed out above, and further explained in the link that I had provided.

    The domain will only keep this fake PR for a short time, and as far as I know, doesn't get any ranking advantage because of it. The domain does not have a PR of 4, it is fake, viewable only by you as having PR, but not considered to have its own PR by Google.

    • Did some research and one technique is to do a PHP redirect where Google IPs go to the high PR site and everyone else goes to the real site.

      So if this was the case you wouldn't know if the domain was redirecting or not.

      The fake high PR site was included in a link request email, so I think the strategy is to get people to link to a destination of their choice using the offer of a (fake) high PR link back.

  • should be gone soon
  • The PR is not real. It is faked. As has been mentioned, they got the PR from a womenshappiness.com redirect and it will be gone in the next update.

    • Nothing nefarious in my original question.

      I got a link request email offering links from 2 high PR domains (including getmentocommit.com) and it looked fishy to me.

      I knew the PR wasn't right but I couldn't work out how it was done.
      Now I know - thanks.

      You don't need a 3rd party site to check fake PR. All you have to do is a info:domain.com at Google search. If the url you search doesn't match the results, it's a fake PR that is hijacking another sites real PR.
