PR0 on all dynamic pages

Is it just my site or what? This morning all my dynamic internal pages are PR0. The sad part is that 95% of the site is dynamic.

Is this another new Google strategy?

Just the flux - be patience - Google likes dynamic today as it did yesturday.

I hope so. They are still very white today.

It is disconcerting since the dynamic pages have always been just a PR point or two behind the home page.

I am worried that this new development is going to cause all these pages that I've been working on to drop like rocks in their position. That is the bottom line to all of this, isn't it?

google just guesses most of my dynamic pages... if I intentionally add "page.asp?test=0" it will just take PR1 of the total PR from the front page and display it as such. I take the argument off and the page gets PR0... stupid.

It was guessing my pages too at PR5 until about a week ago then all of a sudden they're PR0. And they haven't been higher than PR0 since. Make me wonder if it's the new algo.

Google stopped showing guessed PR some time ago. Then you could put up an inner page and it showed one PR point lower than the one above it. Now you see the real PR if one has been calculated for it.

So that means that the index page is the only relevant page on my site... but the most useful material is in all the other pages and sections.

I have a linking policy where people are encouraged to reference to the front page rather than sub-sections unles it's really neccessary.

I intend to keep it that way - just because google doesn't like it doesn't mean I should be changing my ways...

Not necessarily, but it is fine to ask for links to your entry page. I have a deep page that is PR6 on a PR4 site. There is no link from the entry page to the PR6 page because the latter is a hobby page that gets links from Adobe and Microsoft, whereas the entry page is just a toy site that looks like a business page but is not. It has been a sandbox for many years to try out various marketing tactics (nothing to do with search engines).

How do we find our PR?

http://toolbar.google.com/ for windows and Internet Explorer.

There is a new tool that gives an approximate, unofficial estimated PR: http://www.webrankinfo.com/english/tools/pagerank.php This is for people who don't have Windows.

Thanks for the link crm911!

seems to be pretty accurate - it looks like they've got it right!

Hmm, some clever programming that. Thanks for the link.
