Spam site is a PR6?? How in the hell?

These morons constantly spam the chat box at Full Tilt and other sites, their site has NO content other than banners, yet they're a PR6?

How in the hell do you manage that? I'm an SEO moron apparently.

PR is pretty much useless. Google gives just about any new site good pr now. I use this tool and don't even really look at page rank. http://www.seomoz.org/tools/page-strength.php?url

If you can get above a 6 using the page strength tool THEN you got skills. PL is one of the only poker affiliate sites above a 6 that I have noticed.

No, its not real. I don't look very hard but its the same backlinks as
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=link%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.flashback.info%2Fphp-script%2Fredir.php%3Furl%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fbanner.tit anpoker.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Fredir.cgi%3Fid%3DN%26member%3Dcbonusen%26pro file%3Dmaintp&btnG=Google+Search

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search

In other words, the site used to redirect to a Titan Poker banner link, so its showing the PR for that.

Basically if you set up a new site, and 301 it to adobe.com, after you take the 301 off you'll show as a PR10 with the same backlinks as Adobe. It doesn't mean anything though. It's just like taping a PR6 sticker on the toolbar. It isn't real.
