Does anyone understand PR?

[SoftWareRevue]

Ever since the last google update, FU has shown a little weird for me.

Sometimes it shows a PR of 0, sometimes a 5, sometimes a 2.

Right now, if open it in IE, it shows a 2 (see attached).

If I open it in FX, it shows a 5 (see attached).

What's up wit dat? :crazy:

That's pretty weird, but at the moment it's showing 5 for me in both FF and IE.

Ah, http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/future-pagerank/ seems to explain it - some servers have it at 2, some at 5. I think it's reasonable to say that google is still updating.

As for 'Does anyone understand PR?' - I don't think anyone really does (not working for google).

[SoftWareRevue]

That's what I was thinking. That I was accessing different google servers. It's just weird that different browsers would choose different servers. I don't think they all have accessed the same servers on the same day.

It's madness.

Madness I say! :nuts:

Holy cow...is that seochat pagerank accurate? It has one of my sites at PR6 across the board!

[EDIT]Make that two sites. One is a client, and I took over when it was PR3. ;)

http://www.webmastereyes.com/ is an eye opener :eek: Opening one of my index pages shows PR8 on a link not updated in seven or 8 years. All others seem pretty spot on though.

http://www.forumuniversity.com has Google PageRank 2 out of 10

^^ Thats Sad. No probs i will link you from a PR5 homepage and a PR4 homepage of mine :)

[Scott]

Actually, I think it has PR 4.

[Jan]

http://www.forumuniversity.com/campus/ is PR 3 and http://www.forumuniversity.com is PR 4

[SoftWareRevue]

Yeah. This forum has the most confusing results.

Maybe that's just because I come here a bit and notice it more. But, I swear, it's always something different.

[D'Godown]

Ofcourse right now its a PR4.
I dont think Pr is in updation now, because it updates every 100 days and its been only a month and bit more to last update.

[Jayso]

Heh - i ONLY use firefox and i don't bother with google toolbar - The pagerank is never any use...

BTW, i don't think google employees understand it either lol

[mikey1090]

i am seeing pr of 5.....which is nice. when is the next pr update?

[SoftWareRevue]

Looks to be doing that dance about now. :dance:

my personal theory about PR is that your site will have a high PR if it is active, has more than a handful of incoming links with high PR site.

If my personal theory is wrong, am ready to learn.
