I use a FF PR checker plug in. When I load my site http://justtraffic.blogspot.com I get a PR:n/a When I run the site on http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php I get a PR of 5 What would explain this anomalous PR issue? How can I fix it so it shows as PR5 all the time?
Hello, I guess you should not focus on PageRank right now. Google is updating PR now and this causes a large mess up. Several of my sites give PR going up and dow few times a day, from PR0 to PR4 Simply wait few days before the situation goes back to more reliable figures. Cheers ! Thibaut
Been experiencing PR strange behaviour on my websites too once every 2-3 months, I guess that is when Google is processing its PR updates, no need to worry about that, at least for a week from the first day you spotted the anomaly
Don't make this a living problem, as everybody here already told you this is Google PR update period and things could be a bit unstable for a few days. Anyway, I can see PR 5 on your page. Regards
Indeed - different Google Data Centers. Some Data Centers have been updated in the recent PageRank export (maybe 90% of them) but some DCs with older infrastructure are taking longer to update (according to Matt Cutts). The value shown on your toolbar depends on which DC it is retrieving the data from, so it might be correct or it might not. Best not to worry too much about it for a few days. All the DCs should settle down by the middle of next week.
