PR flow and Dynamic Pages

I posted basically the same question a few weeks ago and the only answer that was presented was that perhaps the site I gave as an example had just been tweaked and so a PR update had not yet taken place. I have confirmed this site navigation has not changed in months.

The site is http://www.nada.org

The homepage is PR7. None of the first level navigation items show a PR. For example, "About NADA", "Contact NADA", "Find a Car", etc. --- they all show as PR0.

But, the pages below these links do show PR that would be completely consistent with normal PR flow.

In other words, the page for "About Nada" shows PR0. But, from the About NADA page, the left navigation links for "What We Do", "NADA Leadership", etc. all show PR5 which is what you would expect them to have if the site had normal PR flow through the About NADA page. Said simpler, it appears the About NADA page (and all dynamic pages from the homepage) is a PR6 even though in the google toolbar it is a PR0.

I am seeing this type of behavior sporadically on dynamic sites. I can not find any rhyme or reason for when dynamic pages display PR as you would expect and when they show PR0.

Anyone have any insights?

for some reason it is just not showing. the pages are in googles cache
http://216.239.41.104/search?source...ion%3DAboutNADA
and they have pagerank

Thanks awall19!

I didn't think to double-check the ranking from one of these other tools.

Look at the URLs changing. The ones with ?= in them don't show PR (and actually never have in google). It's a toolbar thing, doesn't have anything to do with those pages not having PR actually. The deeper pages are flat html pages again so the PR shows. Strange they have done it like this but hey...

It's great when you know this as a lot of links that don't look like they contain PR contain plenty of it. But that's for the real knowers to use. You wouldn't believe the amount of webmasters that don't know this or haven't figured it out...

ps. a neat little trick I noticed is that if you do a search in one of the smaller googles, say www.google.nl for a term that will bring up one of the ?= pages as a high result and then click on it, you will see the PR in your toolbar. Do a search for 'american truck dealers nada.org' and then click on the indented result to see that the PR is actually 5 for that page....
