jeffrey,
i bought the site from the guy who set it up only a few days ago. i checked to see if the pagerank was fake or if had backlinks etc.. everything looks legit.. the backlinks are there. the site is indexed with google. its non DROPPED meaning it survived and in fact thrived the latest pr update which was not even a week or so ago. the guy who set up this site obvously was smart and got it to pagerank 7 but unless he did something or hes doing something that i dont know then everything looked good to me we bought it.
now i use basic software to check things seo spy glass and google to see if sites or indexed etc.. i dont have any advanced knowledge other then the basic stuff i know to see if the site is legit. also iv sent the link to DOZENS of peole who asked for it who are more then welcome to see if the pr7 is fake and from everything iv seen it looks like a legit pr7.
for god sakes its not like asking people for money before i show people the site. im willingly giving it out to anybody that asks before they pay.
