I’ve spoke of this before in other forums and even wrote a guide on Ebay about this. But, it is a topic that really bothers me.
We all know the importance of having a trusted page in your arsenal. I won’t get into the debate (yet) of whether or not PageRank is important. Forums, Ebay: You can always find someone selling a domain name that has PageRank; or so it may seem. Visual PR is completely different than actual. If you think about purchasing a domain with PR, please be sure to check whether the page is “fake” or not. Basically, the owner of the domain will redirect the domain to a page with PageRank. On the next update, the page will show a visual PR matching that of the site of the redirect. Pretty sneaky and pretty pathetic. So, some unexpecting buyer will pay top dollar for a domain that has no worth. Please, check for fake PR before purchasing a domain or even purchasing a link on a page with PR. Just type in “fake pr checker” into your browser and you will find a good selection. I will probably be adding one here soon.
