Hi Guys

Is there a site to check wht is the predicted PR for a site and how wud you know that your site has been spidered??

Thanks

The easiest way to see if your site has been spidered is to check out your web stats and see if they've visited. Chances are whoever hosts your site has included some free statistic applications along with your account. You can also look directly at your web server logs.

If you just want to know if your pages have been indexed use site:yourdomain.com or site:www.yourdomain.com as a search and that should show you which pages have been indexed by the particular search engine.

I don't put much faith in PR predictors. I'm not sure how accurate they are and even if they are 100% accurate knowing your PR isn't really all that important. PR itself has been reduced as far as it's wieght of importance in Google.

It's still fun to see your PR rise though isn't it? Here's a predictor I think I got from someone on this forum if you want to look. http://www.rustybrick.com/pagerank-prediction.php Have fun, but don't put too much weight into any of the results.

rustybrick is a joke
www.iwebtool.com there's a pr predictor that receives data from googles datacenters. ofcourse its not 100% accurate
i want to know my PR because i know that if you have at least PR3 all your pages should be indexed. i only have 77 pages indexed and im desperate

Maybe rustybrick is a joke. I don't really know. Like I said I don't put much faith in any of them or really care what they tell me my PR is going to be. It's more just fun for me.

You're site get's indexed because you build it in a way that allows search engine spiders and robots to find all the links. You don't need a PR of 3 to be indexed.

**lighe** · 02-02-2006, 07:43 PM

i knew that a search engine will index more pages if you have a higher PR

**vangogh** · 02-03-2006, 12:30 AM

I think it's possible that higher PR sites get indexed more, but I don't think it's because they have higher PR.

I think that it's because they have a lot of incoming links to their site. Having a large number of incoming links is usually going to increase your PR. It also means that as Googlebot makes it's way around the web it's probably going to encounter more links to your site and consequently visit your site more often.

I don't think the PR is causing the indexing, but rather that both are the effect of other causes.

When my site first went up it had a PR between 0 and 2 for a few months. That didn't stop Google from visiting most every day.

That's bang on the mark. And assuming that PR means frequent crawling, then assume that more crawling = more importance therefore better ranking are all incorrect;

More links = possibly higher real PR (though you may never know) (Google only)
More links = More crawler visits from all SEs
More links = | != higher ranking

I think next PR will be somewhere between 9 - 12 Octomber

**adquick** · 10-03-2006, 09:24 AM

according to problogger.net the next update is underway, http://www.problogger.net/archives/2...nderway-again/

I noticed the PR update since the end of september, and it's still going on now, a few more datacenters to update, I can see around 18 datacenters still not updating...

**vangogh** · 10-04-2006, 04:52 PM

It started last Friday and is still going on at the moment I believe.
