Howto: Fake a Google Page Rank 10

Filed under: Howto, Search Engines — Tim Yang @ 9:54 am

SEO Black Hat has an interesting article on
how to give any website an outward appearance of PR 10. It does work (SEO Black Hat points out a PR10 demo site), but it’s a superficial PR10 that only website visitors are able to see.

  1. Add a permanent (301) redirect with htaccess or some other means on your website to a PR10 site (eg Google.com).
  2. Wait for a Google update to happen. After that, when your website visitors check the PR of your URL, they will see your website now “has” PR 10.
  3. When you have your “new PR”, add a condition to your permanent redirect that says only Googlebots get redirected while allowing your website visitors into your site. Voila! People can now visit your new PR10 website while Googlebots are still sent away.

As the author of SEO Black Hat also says, Google will not index your site while you are permanently redirecting. So as far as Google is concerned, your PR is the same as before the redirect (and it will probably be lower after the update because it can’t index any of the content on your site). You cannot pass on your “new PR” with outbound links. But your site visitors will get fooled and they won’t know any better (unless they try to Google your site).

Note: This works for Google. But it might also work for Yahoo search and other search engines like AskJeeves too. I’m just not sure if it does, but theoretically it ought to.

  4. Sorry, Sreejith. This is a fake PR. So there is no real benefit to it. It’s only created for the purpose of discussing the technique.

  5. [...] Here is a technique is explained for giving your site a Page Rank of 10. Supposedly it works. Being Buzzurro.net brand new, after one week of life it has a zero PR, and a TTLB of “insignificant microbe” or something. Here is a site with a PR of 10 for demo purposes. If, though, you want to check a demo PR 9 site, PR 8 site, or any PR down to 5, they have it. [...]
