Google search Charles.info. This name is parked at Goldkey - it used to redirect to a web hosting company.

You'll notice that the first result has NOTHING to do with Charles.info, no links between the sites in either direction.

Now look at Google's links in and links out and Google cache display... look at the querystring they've built for you... they're WRONG! They're pointing to the other site's cache and link reports!

And for the coupe-de-gras..... Google has given Charles.info the pagerank assigned to the site it's mistaken for!

I hope we don't have any stockholders reading this :)

Faking PR has become a growing practice now...web gurus have found a way to tinker with their domains so that google will think it's another site that does have PR.

I just explained to the owner what PR *IS*... I'm 100% certain he didn't do anything to bump PR. At least not intentionally.

the explanation is simple;

charles.info was at one point redirecting to farmland.info -- google crawled it and saw it was pointing elsewhere so it is treating it as a clone/dupe.
