http://www.jimworld.com/ = PR0 http://www.jimworld.com/forums/ = PR6 Spotted one other instance of another site having the same situation... home page PR0 and interior pages having PR3 or PR4. Is google pagerank broken? |

Again, that has more to do with the Google tool bar. We had a plan to return to the domain that Jim originally started with, and that is http://www.virtualpromote.com/ John even switched most sub links to point to it. However, that plan has changed, and something else is in the works, and I believe the next Gazette will have something about that. The short story is most of Jimworld's links were changed to the VP domain and Google's duplicate filter and G's tool bar is not assigning the PR that exists. There is a similar thing happening at business.com right now, and all they did was change the sub links that had been pointed at root, to business.com/index.asp, rather than just the root domain. Tool Bar PR means nothing, and what it shows and what is actually happening were it counts, in the SERP, is increasingly 2 different things. |

Can we no longer trust the GG toolbar to tell the truth? People trading links base their decisions on whether or not to trade links with other sites based on that toolbar. How can we get a more accurate reading on our own site's PR for our web pages? |

If the site appears to have a high page rank but it has little or no inbound links, then the PR may not be valid. Just search for: link:www.thedomain.com in google and you can see how many links it has. |

The PR bar is great branding for Google and despite its misuse and blatant attempts of sites to increase PR but not site quality, Google will keep it. Google's claims that they are constantly seeking to improve search quality are simply sacrificed by them keeping the PR bar available. A sacrifice Google seems more than willing to make. |

Yes, I well know about that particular senario. But what do we do when we have hundreds of inbound links and the home page is showing PR0? How do we know if the toolbar is reliable in that senario? JimWorld.com has lots of inbound links, but PR0. What's that all about? |

From what I hear the PR bar has not been updated in about 3 months. |

"JimWorld.com has lots of inbound links, but PR0. What's that all about? " in my experience, this has do do with having another alias domain name or some sort of redirect involving another domain name. I think something like that has already been mentioned by the JimWorld guys too. |
