How to verify domain and pages PR?

[ahsangodil]

I am little confuse becuase I am going to purchase a website "jhiconferencevancouver2012.com" and front page shows that the page rank is 3 and another pages shows pr2 but I am little confuse that this domain is registered around 11months ago and the alexa rank is a BIG 0 also there is no backlinks. How this site have PR3 it is possible or this is fake?

your co-operation will save my money :/

if you KNOW for sure that there are no backlinks, the PR is 100% FAKE
PR comes from dofollow backlinks from other PR pages of that or higher PR

faking PR before selling the domain appears to be a very common practice
don't trust the "PR validation" links seller will provide - those only check that domain redirect now, but not that it did not redirect before

Even though backlinks from other higher PR sites helps increase PR, it is not the only item that determines a site's page rank. Other factors also come into play such as the uniqueness of the site, amount of content, as well as content relevance. After looking myself, the site does seem to indicate it has a PR of 3 determined using several checking tools. I also happened to notice the site is hosted by google sites. Whether or not that has any impact on it's rank I am not sure. But with it having reference to some sort of conference in 2012 that took place about 50 days ago... I am thinking that site must of had some sort of publicity at some time during that conference which might be the reason for it's PR of 3? But with it being a conference, when the conference is over, it becomes old news. So there is a chance the PR could decrease in the future and Google just hasn't updated their PR scores yet. The site does have 1 inbound link from a reputable site according to Alexa which is jhi.com which has a google PR of 5. Depending on how reputable jhi.com is to google could have a pretty good impact on jhiconferencevancouver2012.com's PR.
