Just to echo the other people on this thread who say that they see PageRank, I checked and it looks like you have plenty of PageRank internally as well. I didn't see any manual webspam actions that we'd taken on the site either. Have you actually checked in the Google Toolbar? That's the only official place to see our toolbar PageRank--lots of other sites and plugins can be broken in various ways.
In general, PageRank tends to drop for one of two reasons. The first is url canonicalization issues (e.g. messing up http vs. https, www vs. non-www, rel=canonical pointing to weird places like 404 pages). The second reason is selling links that pass PageRank, which violates our guidelines.
- rasengan 14y agoThank you for taking the time to examine this issue for us, sir. We took your advice and booted up an old Windows machine to try out the Google Toolbar, and sure enough, as you had advised, the PR was displayed as 6/10. We will assume this is the last word on the issue. Thanks again, sir.
- Matt_Cutts 14y agoHappy to help. I think the folks in the Google webmaster forum at http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/webmasters http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/webmasters could have answered the questions about this too.
- rasengan 14y agoSounds good - definitely a valuable resource, sir! Cheers, and have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
- coderrr 14y agoHey Matt, thanks a lot for investigating, I've updated the post.
- snowwrestler 14y agoIs there any way to access the official PageRank reading on a Mac? As far as I know Google Toolbar is not available for that platform.
- josscrowcroft 14y agoI'd love to know this too - anybody?
- rasengan 14y agoI found something from ChromeFans.org which seems to be working quite alright, although it's not the official Google extension. Edit: In the Chrome Store
