Does anyone know how to distinguish if Google has assigned a PR of zero or has not assigned a PR yet?
Even though the tools are unreliable, pagerank prediction can often tell you the real importance of page with PR0... To those who don't understand WTF : Lets say that you just got linked from a new entry in the NY Times and Slashdot(important sites) , both having PR0 (due to being just a day old news), but it will greatly improve your position in SERPS and your PR, long before any PR update, due to importance of the page to Google, even without any visible assigned PR. Effectively , this is a VERY important Url , even though it has a PR of 0. I did a little check on today's Slashdot entry : http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/11/21/2251258 http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_prediction gave me : hardware.Slashdot.or... 0 6 (5.6) 72.3% 9,077 Disclaimer : I was pretty much using logic here, so if anyone has the actual answer, you'd be more than welcome...
I think you cannot because your source of knowing PR is PR checker tools but they show PR0 if its not assigned.
I think you can somehow figure it out from your Google sitemap account. Under the 'statistics' tab, there is a table for pagerank assigned for your pages. If it reflects PageRank not yet assigned, then it has not been assigned of any PR. If it reflects otherwise, then you have that reported PR respectively. Hope it helps
The page rank can sometimes timeout so will display 'page rank not assigned'. It can also display it for PR 0 sites, but I'd class them as the same.
wait for the PR update. anyway, not the pr is most important, check your keywords at: http://www.shoemoney.com/serps.php , if you rank well in yahoo, and not in google, means you are sandboxed in google, but pr will be high on the next PR update
