Dear Readers,

This is an issue that concerns quite a lot of people. Does the domain keep it’s PR after it’s dropped?

Lots of people believe what fake PR checkers tell them and don’t bother checking how they reached their conclusion.

Google Drops the PR straight to 0 as soon as it realizes the domain has dropped. But as soon as it has a website again and gets indexed it gets it PR back. But how do you check if the PR is real or fake?

For the sake of demonstration I’ll use example.info as the domain I’ll use.

Now the domain has dropped so the Google site command will not work and will not show any indexed pages.

This is usually a good method to see if the domain is Fake if it’s still available because doing “site:example.info” would show another website if it was fake.

So what can you do?

Here are 5 Steps for you to follow

1- Check the PR of the links by typing “link:example.info” in google. If it shows some links with PR then the domain is likely to have a valid PR.

2- Check it’s status back in time using the wayback machine which goes back some time so you can monitor how the domain was doing and the older the domain the better it is because it has a higher value.

3- Check with Yahoo’s backlink checker tool: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com. (You will need to register free)

4- Check the traffic ranking. I controversially suggest Alexa because it might be able to provide you with trends on the traffic.

5- Do you genuinely believe you can put original content and keep it up rather than making it a link far?

So there are other ways of seeing if the domain has a real PR.

I hope this clarifies some issues with my readers.
