I thought google's pr was based on backlinks as i don't have any backlinks for mywebsite. http://rgadget.com you can check on google if you want to check backlinks. link:rgadget.com
SEOQuake toolbar shows 5 backlinks...... But PR is not just based on backlinks....you have tons of content. I just noticed that my site is now PR1 and I have 78 backlinks (again according to SEOquake) but I do not have no where near the amount of content you do. Keep up the good work!
PR1 on my tool bar. But anyhow...If you are getting PR4 in your tool bar, means...soon others will also see it. With in two weeks time.
The link: operator takes its results from a publically-available database that is only updated periodically, like the Google Toolbar PageRank display database. So the results of the link: operator can be several months out of date. And even when that database is updated, it only shows the number of high-quality links so you may simply have enough low quality links to earn the PageRank score you saw. It is unusual for there to be a PageRank update without a links update, but it does happen. If you want a more comprehensive list of the links that Google knows about, sign up for the Webmaster Tools Console at http://www.google.com/webmasters.
It is PR4 from a tools and PR from my Google tools bar., The PR dust is still everywhere, when the dust settled you will know your true PR. Good luck.
check using a google pr chcker site. I see PR4 right now with both http://rgadget.com and/or http://www.rgadget.com. Google updates PR weekly now?
I got PR4, congrats ! I have a site with PR5 links and only got a pr 2, got another with just few links and it got a PR3... not sure what the big G is doing these days.
too weird it's PR1 with my google bar and also my blog jump from PR0 to PR3 but it show PR0 in the google bar and PR3 when i check it outside !! Silly !
