how to check fake PR



Obsession with PR is insane. I wish Google would just nuke PR all together. Anyway, check the backlinks of any purchase based on PR as well as the info: search mentioned.
 
imo +1 for scrapebox fake pR cheker which is now my favorite for bulk PR checking anyway.

but

the underlying question is - ok so you've found yourself a "real" high PR blog, but what is the difference between a PR4 worth $30 and a PR4 worth $1000 (excluding site revenue)?

and these days that is what really matters. i can "make" a PR4 in a few weeks nowadays...but what makes it worth a shit?
 
I'm in contact with someone that's offering me a PR5 blogroll. The thing is that the PR passes all these tests (including the info: one). However, it returns ZERO results in majestic and AHrefs... meaning it doesn't have many (any) backlinks.
