Using redirection and cloaking, a site can lay claim to the PageRank score of
another site, with Dark SEO Team giving you a classic example
here. Is it really a PR10 site,
or is it Memorex? Actually, it’s Google. Compare the backlinks, and you’ll see
link:www.pr10.darkseoteam.com =
link:google.com! That’s a way to detect fake PageRank. Or you can do it more
easily with this handy
tool from SEOlogs. Enter the domain you suspect of being a faker, push
submit, and if the domain you were checking on remains the same, all systems go.
If not, they’re faking you out.
