The high PR page is in google but it has funny query string stuff on it like.
[widget.com...]
Is there a way to tell if google has at least recognized the links in the high PR page?
I do not see any meta tags like "index,nofollow", "nocache" etc...
I would think my link on this high PR page would count as a backlink to my site. Yet the toolbar and my actual serps suggest otherwise.
I checked other sites that the high PR page is linking to. Out of my small sample it did no show up as a backlink to the other sites either.
Then check if they have pages listed in the format:
[widget.com...]
If they don't then it's probably a problem with google not being able to spider those sort of URL's. If they do then it could be a number of reasons, possibly the page is new and hasn't been spidered yet.
Why not display the page in your browser, and use the toolbar Page Info - Cached Snapshot of Page. That should tell you if it's in the index.
oh no. I just tried that for [webmasterworld.com...]
