I think the real definition of fake PR is that a page that receives PR from Google but has no content in it.

Usually I hear people branding these PR as red PR or rather fake PR

PR is far too overrated, which is exactly why Google likes to make PR “adjustments” to some of the more notable sites. Google likes to have attention and be bowed down to.

As far as a fake page rank, the only scenario where I would consider a site to have a fake page rank is where it would have previously been redirected to a higher PR site (and thus acquired that sites. pagerank).

Buying a site with a page rank is not faking page rank. When you buy a site, you buy everything that comes with it including it’s links. You’re not faking anything.

Well, it’s actually quite fun if you have a high PR site. We can use PR to gain a side income (paid links, posts etc) but the fact of the matter is that we cannot rely on PR to determine the true values of a site.

In my opinion, Traffic is much more important than PR.

I am not bagging PR just pointing out how PR numbers are a Public Statement about your site made by an industry leader. It is reported to be democratic and fair but that is not the case. Your Blog is probably not really a PR0 just for example.

Fow people new to seo like me, I must admit I would love to get a high PR. At the moment i am PR0 and its fine saying ignore it, its fake, but its also a goal.

Goals are important so let me have mine ! Dont bag PR….

I can show you sites with 10 back links with a pr 7

even employees at googgle have confirmed that pr is just something they have for fun
and should not be used to judge a page overall
vanessa fox who is created webmasters tools has also confirmed this

Aargh. This topic gets me going. PR is fake to begin with. Even as a measure of why someone should buy a link on a high pr site it is fake. People chasing PR are chasing… nothing. Except perhaps faster, more frequent crawling. Quality traffic is what we should be trying to get, and PR really has very little to do with that. There are easier and much more honest ways of getting better SERP positioning than worrying about PR. I think we agree that Google is really the culprit here for making this PR thing so visible.
