Something strange is going on!
A few of my pages are PR0, but the rest seem fine. What could cause this?

Uhh...

Each page on the site has a link back to the homepage in the upper right corner, and there's a link that says 'home'.

I expect that you are seeing the effects of maybe a very deep in the pile page, that's all.

They lose PR the deeper the links go.

I have tons of them. Sometimes they are the result of paths through the site that haven't been fully spidered yet or are no longer connected to the site.

Cheers,

Actually, they are all top level pages that should inherit PR. If you go to the site at www.revmedia.com, you'll see what I mean just by clicking down the left side links. Is this the result of changed page names? That could be the culprit!

Correct me if I am wrong here people, but not all top level pages get the same PR....in fact only my home page has a PR of 5, while almost all the others have a 4.

They are just as connected as some of the other pages in the same level. Why would some be PR0 and the others not?

Don't know you'll have to ask the Google folks, maybe freshy will eventualy connect the dots and remove the orphaned pages. I'm sure that this happens a lot. Remember PR is frequently an estimate. It only gets calculated once a month.

case studies is an interesting case study. If you call it without a parameter, the bar shows 0. If you call it with a parameter, the bar shows a ranking. I think it is 'cause google is magic.

http://www.revmedia.com/case_studies.php

http://revmedia.com/case_studies.php?which_case=1#scroller

Since case_studies.php is really just the header of the other pages.. Perhaps the bot (in all its wisdom) concluded that it was just a dup.

y: Interesting observation. I'm not sure what to make of any of this. I wonder how it will affect SERPS? My traffic is all over the place right now!

http://www.revmedia.com/case_studies.php << real PR if fully spidered and indexed as of dance else estimated.

http://revmedia.com/case_studies.php?which_case=1#scroller << estimated PR if not in index.

Google isn't magic, but analysis of it as a black box requires that you realize that an unindexed page can only return an estimate of the PR, likewise an incompletely spidered page or a page in an incompletely spidered site will only return an estimate.

Cheers,

Your site has a PR 5 when hit at http://www.revmedia.com, however take a look at: http://www.revmedia.com/index.php your index page has a PR of 0

Yep that's because the inbound links and the links going back probably all point to http://www.revmedia.com and not http://www.revmedia.com/index.php the urls are different .... the little things always get you. Software systems are quite literal.

Index.php is a new page. I would assume it would inherit some pr, but i guess it will correct on the next update.
