Easy way to check you current PR

I notice a PR3 that looks like it's showing PR4 in the directory now.

 

After the pr toolbar export you will see that the page is pr4. Google updated directory with the current data and not some junk that is out of date and reality.
Some people believe that directory uses different scale - from 1 to 8.
look at this one
http://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Searching/Directories/Yahoo/?il=1
yahoo shows pr 10 and not 8

 

i have one of my site www.premierug.com into Dmoz directory ...

but cannot be found in Google directory anywhere ...

can anyone say whats there with here now ...

you are in the directory:
http://www.google.com/Top/Regional/Africa/Uganda/Business_and_Economy/?il=1
Pr3 - no change for you
Interesting is the fact that some on the websites listed on that page don't show a toolbar. Some of them are new, but one http://www.ugandajobline.com/ has a pr - I wonder if that's a sign of an upcoming ban. I will watch this site to see what's gonna happen to it

 

That might be a demotion

 

me too - and you're right, it looks like the directory hasn't cached the data from dmoz yet.

 

It did at a specific point in time - probably on July 01 or 02.

I'm not sure whether all the directory pages have been updated though. It's actually easy to check - see the bottom of any page if it displays 2007 Google copywrite notice. So far the directory has been the most accurate measure of pagerank

 

thanks for the info, should get another site listed in DMOZ first

 

You're welcome
It's good to have your site in Dmoz just for Google. The link in itself is just another link but...you'll get an insight into your pr because of it.

 

It's funny.
When you look at this example that someone asked me to check: the site
http://www.kgmgroup.com/ is pr0 but in the directory updated value = pr3
(http://www.google.com/Top/Regional/Africa/Uganda/Business_and_Economy/?il=1)
this one however got demoted
http://www.fasb.org/
http://www.google.com/Top/Business/Accounting/

 

It's a scale of 8.
Here is what seems to be a fairly a current article:
http://www.seocompany.ca/pagerank/pr/toolbar-directory-page-rank.php
and some older ones...
2004
2002

Nothing has changed, the image is still 2 pieces, pos.gif and neg.gif,
the only exception seems to be the listing for Google:
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Searching/Search_Engines/Google/
http://gfe-mu.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/Searching/Search_Engines/Google/
The 44 pixel pos.gif they talk about in the articles above is gone in the new version...

 

You can also use sites like http://www.checkmypagerank.us to check your Google PageRank. Several good ones are available if you just do a Google search for 'pagerank checker'.

 

Well, somebody took time to write "this deep analysis", but frankly I see what I see. When I look at the toolbar my pr is 7 (at least it looks that way, but fortunately says so too) and when I look in the directory my pr is still 7 (at least it looks that way). They can use images consisting of 25 pieces for all I care. The fact of the matter is that having two different scales for the same website is redundant and a complete waste of time.
According to that SEO article, Yahoo, which is listed in the Google directory and clearly showing pr10 bar, is in fact pr8 - this is funny stuff

 

Is Google directory always updated before toolbar PR export?

 

My site (http://www.kung-fu.co.il) has PR0 according to Google Directory:

http://www.google.com/Top/Sports/Martial_Arts/Kung_Fu/Mantis/Southern_Praying_Mantis/

But according to this it has PR3:

http://www.digpagerank.com/index.php?url=www.kung-fu.co.il&dc=18

Is this going to be a problem in the future update? Will Google punish me?

 

I frankly don't know what to think about it. I noticed that with several sites. I looked at your site and you seem to have a lot of duplicate content. I think it would be irresponsible of me to say that you're heading for troubles, though part of me wants to definitely say that. Google is cracking down on a lot of sites that they consider duplicate and therefore redundant. let's see what will happen after the update

 

Noticed my site appeared in the google directory after being in DMOZ for over a year. Now google seems to have reverted to its old directory contents and my site has disappeared.

Anyone else notice this?

 

As I wrote you in the pm. The site is there. Some temporary glitch or Google still hasn't updated all their data centers.
What I noticed in that Category (http://directory.google.com/Top/Recreation/Pets/Cats/Directories/) is this site:
http://coolcatsites.net/ (the very bottom)
It looks like it's gonna take some beating.

my site listed in dmoz but not in Google, why ?

 

No difference in page rank for our site.
