phpLD question - why isn't PR appearing?

    I have a question on my directory. It doesn't seem as though any of the page rank icons are working, for example check this page:
    http://www.edu-hq.com/directory/internet/directories/
    At least one of the links in the directory should have a PR I would have thought?

    because Google isn't allowing your hosting server to poll for PR. e.g. you're blocked.

    find and install directoryspy.com's pr updater.

    I had this problem too your host has restricted the request please turn off PR.
    or contact you host and ask them for a valid reason. There is no problem with the script.

    If the servers are blocked the pr update tool will work?

    For some reason, the pr update tool didnt work for one of my directories...(yes its a different host)

    I also tried using different datacenters for the update tool.

    Lets see when i can fix it...

    I haven't been able to work out why this is the case. I use a 3rd party script to determine the PR, and I don't know enough about the protocol to debug it myself.

    Does Google provide an API to interogate PR?

    Google does not provide PageRank in their API
    You have to use a special checksum and simulate browser behavior to get the pagerank.

    I successfully installed the directoryspy.com mod and the PR update is now working properly. If you haven't installed it because your worried you might screw something up, don't worry, if I can do it, anyone can! :p

    Directory Spy mod is not working for all cases. Is it something to do with allow_url_fopen ?
