Basically, you can check out the website and it will appear that they have a PR of 10. However, if you do a backlink check in Google you will see that all the links are going to another PR 10 site and not their website. In most cases they do a redirect to Google.com or a different PR 10 site. This gives them a fabricated PR of 10 and therefore the text link will not be doing anything for your website.These are the steps they take:

  1. Get a domain name
  2. Do a 301 redirect in the .htaccess or php header
  3. Wait for Google to crawl and do a PR update
  4. Use some type of cloaking script
  5. Bingo, a PR 10 site.

This is an example of what the code looks like:

<?php
/* Insert cloaking script to detect if the visitor is a Googlebot */
if (Googlebot) {
echo ‘<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;url=http://www.google.com/”>’;
exit();
}
else {
echo “<p>My PR 10 website!</p>”;
}
?>

If you want to see a website that faked their PR on purpose as a joke, check out pr10.darkseoteam.com.

The point is to be careful of these things. Text links can be effective but they must be from a reputable source and not one of these bogus sites. Just be cautious about anybody that claims they have a PR of 10, there are only a handful of them that really do.
