It seems like the Google update that took place around Oct. 5th is finally being reflected in the green pixie dust Page Rank displays. SEOBlackhat.com did OK for 80ish days online with a legit page rank 5 for our homepage and 1 page rank 6.
On some of our other domains, we have shown that faking Page Rank is possible by redirecting the Googlebot User Agent (as opposed to IP cloaking). Sorry kids, no example domains but here’s the root index.php code that worked for us on several domains with Wordpress installed:
<?php
if (strstr($_SERVER[’HTTP_USER_AGENT’], “Googlebot”)) {
header(”HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”);
header(”Location: http://domain-with-page-rank-you-want.com/”);
exit;
}
else {
define(’WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(’./wp-blog-header.php’);
};
?>
seoblackhat.com and our “faker domains” fared much better than http://www.msn.com who inspite of a link from the page rank 9 http://search.msn.com/, is apparently only worthy of a bitch slapping Page Rank 2. It makes me wonder if I should be throwing on a rel=nofollow condom when linking to them. I’m clearly taking a big risk linking to your shadey neighborhood. So, MSN:You owe me one.
Matt Cutts from Google’s response to this Google Bitch Slap of MSN was:
“We’re showing the main PR on msn.com, not www.msn.com. If you check http://msn.com, it’s PR8:
http://www.seochat.com/?go=1&option=com_seotools&tool=9&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmsn.com%2F&submit=Check”
But of course that’s all crap. If you type msn.com into any Google search box it directs you to www.msn.com. So they know exactly what they’re doing.
Do no evil . . . but it’s cool to be childish and petty?
Update: Something happened to correct the Page Rank to a PR 9. Tin Foil Hat theories welcome.

Did you actually do it with a UserAgent instead of IP????
Man, I’m shocked…. are you asking for an immediate ban???
After the update you remove the User-Agent Redirect: the PR pixie dust will stay until the next update and G can start indexing your site.
[…] SEO black hat mentioned a Google PR update today. I hadn’t even noticed. […]
I am really interested in the topics you discuss — they really do give an insight totally different from traditional SEO websites as they only tell you the “good” things to do. The faking of the pagerank is quite interesting though I wouldn’t test it on my own domain.
Any wya to find out if fake PR redirecting will get the domain banned? if not then its a great way to go about things in every whcih way,,hmmm
Can this actually be done? Is there a way I can pay someone like 5K to do it for me? Let me know! Email me at jordan@equalitylenders.com
