    I have an important question that I couldn't find its answer for a while! If someone links to my site from a page (www.site.com/page) that has a pagerank 0, and the host of the page (www.site.com) has a PR of 5, does google check the host or the page rank to update my page rank? and does it update my page or my host rank? excuse my english :)

    The rank of the page linking to your site, could pass PR to the page that the link is pointing towards.

    You would also need to make sure that the linking page is cached by google, and is not using nofollow code. Worth checking on PR0 pages !!!

    I think you will get the pr passed only from the linking page and not the root domain. If the site uses nofollow, then you'll get nothing.

    aha cool! as for the the PR, the are many tools to check the pr... but if I wanna know whether it's cached by google or not, is there a tool that does that? maybe an API or something... cause I'm not gonna be checking them myself.. I'm doing a small automated system

    Hi, to check wether a page is cached by Google, just use the google toolbar.
