Page rank funny business

    Okay, I am confused so perhaps someone can explain something to a confused me!

    I have a blog, about 30 days old so still building it - this morning, according to my firefox plugin, it was PR0.

    I visited again this evening to post something and the FF page rank checker says its PR5.

    Now, I would love it to be a PR5 but I know its still a 0 - checked with a few page rank checkers and they all say zero so why would the firefox plugin (that is accurate on other pages) suddenly go dippy and say my blog is a 5 :S

    Any reason this happens?

    Cheers
    Ry

    One reason that happened is, the page you visited before looking at your blog was PR5 and it stayed there, so it looked like your blog was PR5 but it's really the page before.

    You are getting wrong cache, might be from other sites along other tabs. Use some pagerank checking tools showing results from multiple data centers.

    Don't just rely on the PR tool in your Google Toolbar. Cross check with several online PR checker.

    If you use the google toolbar plug-in, then i sure that the PR5 is the page you visit before but not your own page. To avoid this happen and disappointed you, you can try to add-on the SearchStatus
