Why does Gmail show Page Rank?

    I was wondering. Why does Gmail show PR when I'm logged into my account? What is the purpose? Does this mean my Gmail email is being crawled and indexed by Google.

    Anyone got more knowledge of this than me, please share!

    I don't see that...but it doesn't mean that your emails are being crawled and indexed. :rolleyes:

    I don't see the PR either.

    Of course, gmail is crawled. :) How else would they feed relevant ads?

    However, I am sure I read somewhere (TOS?) that they would NEVER index gmail "content" in their search engine.

    If someone has proof that personal gmail content is showing up on SERPs, please let us know!

    Thanks.

    The same way a page you just uploaded can show PR...there must be some kind of system the toolbar gets from google for estimation. Like, oh this page is in this directory and it's two levels off the PR5 homepage so we'll give it a PR3 till we can actually spider it...only with gmail, of course there aren't caching spiders.

    Just a theory.

    Send yourself a bunch of emails with links to your sites in them and watch them soar in the SERPs :)

    Is it possibly something to with the fact that 1 page is used? It accesses everything through javascript...

    You are correct about that. I know I found the answer to this once in googles information, but I cannot seem to find it now. If I do I will post it here for you.

    Some pr tools (including plug-ins/extensions etc) tend to strip the args from a url and present this to G to grab PR. So, strip the args from the relevant url, hit enter, and see what happens. :)

    Cheers,

    Since the PR update my gmail page rank has been PR8

    I know make sure I use my site keyword link in my email signature. I'm sure it crawls, index, and ranks somehow.

    I have one site that is in development, never advertised, not even up and running for production. I only used the link in my email to correspond with the developers. That site now shows a PR1, it had to be found somehow...and I guess it was through the Gmail emails.
