PR Tool Problem?

[SEO_AM]

Shawn,

I just added two url's to track for BL's. They both show PR0 when they are actually PR4's. I have just started an effort to raise their PR's, but am starting at zero rather than the PR4's shown on the Google toolbar. Is there a problem with the DP tool?

URLs: http://www.ventureline.com/finanal.asp and http://www.ventureline.com/finanal_stananalysis.asp

No, they are not PR4, they are PR0.

(checked with Google Toolbar and my own PageRank Checker (http://www.freelance-help.com/google-ranking-report/page-rank.php))

I also see them as PR0... where are you seeing they are PR4?

Both are, and have been, displaying a PR4 and a PR5 for the last several months under the PR toolbar. All the pages in http://www.ventureline.com are either PR5's or PR4's under the Google toolbar except for the links and site map due to a renaming and redirect. Any ideas?

Edit: using the Prog PR tool, http://www.webmasterbrain.com/prog/, it also shows what I see under the toolbar, i.e., one PR4 (http://www.ventureline.com/FInAnal_StanAnalysis.asp) and one PR5 (http://www.ventureline.com/FinAnal.asp). I think it might be your tool or is Google screwed up? Prog gets their PR directly from Google.

URLs to Google are case sensitive...

http://www.ventureline.com/FInAnal_StanAnalysis.asp

is not the same as:

http://www.ventureline.com/finanal_stananalysis.asp

If you go to each URL with the toolbar, you will see one shows PR4 and one does not.

Did you enter the URL into the back link tracker with the upper/lower characters?

Shawn,

As I tell my kids: "I may be dumb, but I am not smart." :) Yes I am aware of the case sensitivity.

I even deleted both url's several times and re-entered with the same result. They both show on your tool as a PR0. You may have a bug there somewhere.

edit: Here is a thought. I may have initially entered in all lower case forgeting that my guys had used some uppercase. When deleted, to re-enter correctly, is that field being nulled at your end?
