Getting links from dodgy sites without links are probably worthless, but what I wonder is: How do they do it?

PR8, zero backlinks. Anyone who's got a clue?

    The Domain has 320,000 backlinks and the home page has 13,000. The website has alot of weight behind it. And it has a Page Rank of 5.

      You're looking at the wrong site.


      At OP, this is most likely done through 301 redirects.

      If you don't change direction, you'll end up where you're going.

    They may use redirecting script. Some script shows PR of redirected pages. I knew the way of checking the real PR, but at this moment can not remember it.

    Its a bit strange for me too. I found another interesting thing about this site. In footer of this site, there are tens of links to other pages and i think its a site that is promoted to sell backlinks. I think a lot of backlinks are sold by the owner of this site.

    It's fake, and I wouldn't rely too much on PR stuff. It's over-rated.

      Yes, they're juicing up the PR and selling links big time.

      I checked the site with opensiteexplorer
      Open Site Explorer
      And I can't see one 301. Wouldn't one need thousands and thousands of 301s to surpass PR6 sites like ezine?

      Which 10 links? I see none.

      That's the whole point of the thread. It's fake. It's worthless for SEO. Have you read the original post?

    Other sites, from the same owner, practically without backlinks but with PR7 are these:
    Check Page Rank!

    Check Page Rank!

    To put it into perspective. Sites which are PR7 or PR8 are only the hugest of the huge, like: People Magazine, Wallstreet Journal, USA Today.

    No-one who knows?

    It's not permalinks. It's not 301-redirects (one would need thousands and thousands). The sites doesn't have weight at all on opensiteexplorer's MozRank.

    Could it be some fancy programming skills which dupes Google-bot?

    PR checking tools are showing that the PR is valid, but how is it possible?

      The PR is not valid. Any logical person would know this.

      It's very easy to fake PR. You just redirect ONLY the
      googlebot to another site. A regular visitor sees the
      regular page. It's not foolproof, but if done before
      a PR update, the fake PR will show for a long time.

      Get a grip on reality people. It's fake.

      There's a sucker born every minute.

      The only way to really combat fake PR, is for google to
      have a way of showing real PR. But they would never
      do that, as it would open some things up to prying eyes.
      They like having secrets.

        Thank you Captain Obvious! That's what this whole thread is about. The question is how they're able fake it.

        PageRank is measured like earthquakes, a PR8 is enormous. It's an earth-shattering kaboom. How the heck could one redirect Google-bots in a amount that would result in a 8? If you think that's easy than be sure to let us know how it's done.

          I believe you only need to redirect it to one page that is a PR8 already.

            In theory, yes that could have been done, but in practice nope.

            If they redirect sites, they would either be able to highjack tiny sites in a massive scale (like thousands), or they could, like you say, 301 a PR8 site. But who would redirect their PR8 site in order to be able to sell a hand full of over priced footer links? PR8 sites (which are given the PR because they're popular) are so rare, and generate so much income that it would be unthinkable that someone did it.

              As far as I know the pr8 site doesn't even have to do anything or know about it.

              How To Fake Google PageRank Numbers

              The web sites used a relatively simple trick. A known loophole in the Google algorithm is that a web page that redirects to another web page will get the PageRank number of the redirected web page.

              A web page that redirects to Google.com will get a PageRank of 10 because web surfers that go to the redirection page will actually land on Google.com which has a PageRank of 10.

              To get a high PageRank number, a web site must just redirect to Google.com (or another page with a high PageRank) when the Google spider visits the site. This is a technique called cloaking.
              So the site with the high PR doesn't have to do anything their side.

    Probably redirected to Twitter or something until after the pr update, then it went live. Next pr update will bring it to 0 where it belongs.
    Think I'll try it for fun....hmm...off to find a pr10 site.

      What do you mean by redirect to twitter. If I redirect my PR0 site to a PR9 site, would that do something to the PR of my own site at the next update? If so, than you've cracked the code.

      EDIT: @hicksdelight, you're right. Nice link.

    Missunderstood the question Sorry. My take would be 301 redirectes, but you claim that this isn't the case.

    PR8 sites (which are given the PR because they're popular) are so rare, and generate so much income that it would be unthinkable that someone did it.
    And this ^^. Why would someone do such a redirect on a well established website. This doesn't make no sense.. Would love to know as well.
