Why is Google.co.uk page only PR 9?

    Just a little thing i noticed - when i was about to search.

    Surely they have control over just setting it to PR 10/10. Google.com is PR 10, so why not .co.uk, obviously google.com is more popular but ya know...

    Anyone know why? :confused:

    What's the point of tricking their own system and setting it to 10?

    Simple: it has less links to it than google.com.

    Well, as only people from the UK visit, its not as highly ranked. It makes perfect sense when you think about it.

    ED: Looks like everyone said the same thing before I posted...

    Yes fair enough on all the comments:

    I was orginally going to say this:

    "But (although we don't eactly know that the PR is set just on this) wouldn't you have thought with all the links to 'google.co.uk' - it would be a PR 10."

    - But then did 'link:http://www.google.co.uk' and i know it sounds stupid saying this but - it only had 13,500 backlinks:) . Compared to a site with the same PR, - wikipedia, and this had a wopping - 1,120,000 backlinks!! Whilst google.com had - 1,910,000:eek: . So i would expect that it why - didn't really think there would be such a gap between google.co.uk and google.com!!

    So there you go...:)
