It's an amazing PR of my website...when i checked PR of my website, it is 0 out of 10...but when i searched in google it's 1 out of 10...what i meant to say is google bar shows nil..where as google search shows 1...if u don't believe search "NEPALI BANDS" http://kookku.com/bernardmax/index.html this website has PR 1...Is it possible...?

yes.. because you use just http://www.kookku.com/bernardmax/ for link exchanges right? however if you used http://www.kookku.com/bernardmax/index.html then it will be the same.

just to give you an idea. http://www.site.com might or might not have the same PR as http://site.com (without the www).

but still my homepage is on the top...that everyone wanted..

puzzlebox yes.. because you use just http://www.kookku.com/bernardmax/ for link exchanges right?

Can u explain me this clearly?

Google assigns an unique pagerank to each page. Therefore a link from http://www.your-site.com/ is one page and http://your-site.com/ is another page and if you specify a certain page like this http://your-site.com/index.html is a different rank again. Google likes to use backlinks to rank a page.

This in short means that if a webmaster writes a link to your http://your-site.com/index.html the page named index is the recipient of the pagerank boost. If another webmaster wrote a link to http://your-site.com/Apage.html then Apage.html will be the recipient of the pagerank boost.

Always remember that robots are dumb computer programs. They cannot think reason or guess at anything. They just do what the programmer told them too.(in google's case find, index and rank webpages)

This means that even though http://your-site.com/ and http://your-site.com/index.html are the the same page in reality, a robot will recognize the text difference in the links and assume it is meant to be different and assign a pagerank to each "page".

Im using the google toolbar with firefox it isnt showing anything... I assume that it still a 0.

Wait a second here! I think you are confusing PageRank with the rank in the search results. They are not the same.

Or maybe you are asking how a page with only PR1 can be ranked first in a search?

PageRank is Google's measure of the importance of a page.

It is NOT a measure of the page's relevance to any certain keywords.

Either Google thinks your page is most relevant or it's a mistake


Bompa

Bompa is right....my page is most relevant....that's why it's on top..

WAIT WAIT WAIT.... you said PR 1, PR 1 means its CRAP. so is PR 0, PR 10 means HElla good, anything above 4 is pretty good. but PR 1 is worse than PR 2 for example.

Am i on the right track here?

completely the wrong one.

Toolbar PR has absolutely no bearing on good or bad. It is purely an inaccurate, out of date and pretty meaningless representation of the number of links pointing to that page.
