Do you use a Google Toolbar?
IMHO, every SEO specialist should use the PR checker of the Google Toolbar and not the other checkers that are online or come with the firefox plugins
Pagerank query tools are around really long, and there has been a major change when the toolbar changed her query mechanism, having as result that a lot of tools still use the old mechanism that gives other results, with the new mechanism not resolved for a long time, as it happened i didn't follow it close enough to be sure what's the status of the reverse engineering now
there has been a lot about the pageranking query mechanism, but the only way to be sure about a pagerank is to use the google toolbar
heh i use the firefox extensions normally, but i've seen pages that gave me different results, eg. one extension gave me pr2, the other pr3
so when a big pagerank update has happened, i always check my sites with the google toolbar to see the difference with the previous update

Why?
Re: Do you use a Google Toolbar?
I dont use the toolbar, just go to the site when I need to search. I dont like installing the tb in as they always have some level of tracking for marketing purposes. They do enough tracking on their site and whats the point when you need to go and open a browser window anyway? Just another marketing "tool".

If you want to know the real page rank you have to either be the site's owner or work for google. You can sign up for google's admin section BTW which gives you access to that area.
But since you are talking about google ... does it really matter is the real question .. well not really. Id prefer to be #1 on MSN's search any day as thats the default search on all Windows based PCs. :wave:
