Difference between PageRank and Toolbar's PageRank

Hello friends,

What's the difference bewtween PageRank and ToolBar PageRank?

Thanks
Shailendra

 

The only difference is that Toolbar PageRank is updated periodically. PageRank is real-time.

 

so how can one determine the PageRank that is real time?

 

You can't. Google only publishes this information periodically, kind of like how a company's financial reports are reported quarterly. They may or may not be a reflection of how the company is doing RIGHT NOW.

 

No, Both Page rank are same

 

Yes, both are pagerank, but... Toolbar pagerank is a published snapshot in time. Pagerank is a live video that Google doesn't air.

 

Both pageranks are same mate...

 

Nothing,.. Both are SAME.

ToolBar PageRank is a tool and page rank is the result on the toolbar...

 

"PageRank" is a trademark of Google and "Page Rank" is a phrase only.

don't get confused

ok

 

ummm... no. like I said, the toolbar only reflects public updates every 4 months or so, not the real-time page-rank. There is a LAG between actual PR and what you see in the toolbar.

 

Pagerank is a unit of measurement. Toolbar Pagerank is measuring device

 

Both the page ranks are same according to me

 

PageRank (trade mark) is Google technology . Toolbar PageRank real time measure you rank and when google update tollbar PageRank change (up or down) and if google no update PageRank you rank no change (every you see same)

 

the toolbar pagerank is just a reflection of an overall period of time, while pr is something that happens on a continual basis.

 

always thought there was no difference, glad to know there isnt

 

Both are same.

 

google bar PR is NOT the same as google internal PR.

there are at least 4 differences:

1. The internal PR is calculated continuously and continually while ggle bar PR is released only 3 to 4 times a year.

2. The ggle bar PR does not show the actual value; it has a time lag

3. Internal PR computations have many more degrees of resolution than the 0-10 values shown in the toolbar.

4. More significantly: google bar PR includes some other factors so that it may move dramatically while internal PR (SERP) does not change at all. More and more, google uses ggle bar PR just as a marketing instrument.
EX when you are penalized because you bought/sold links, your ggle bar PR may lose 3 to 5 points (quite a move) while you may keep unchanged your top SERP position.

Agree with this guy! Google Toolbar Page ranks, which everyone can see on the toolbar or some firefox addons, was updated every 3-4 months on avarage (so about 3-4 times a year). Sometimes its about 2 months for changes, ex last year July and September updates. The real Google Pagerank was updated more often, about 3-4 times a week.
You guys can search on Matt Cutts' blog for more info.
