Toolbar shows PR5 but google directory shows PR0

How come?
Why the difference?
Site has been up for about 3 months.

I think you just need to wait for the directory update. Google took so long to update their toolbar PR that who knows what is going on with the directory. I wouldn't worry about it.

By directory, do you mean DMOZ? I have a similar question/comment. Although I am unable to get to dmoz.org right now, last time I checked my site wasn't in there, but I do maintain a PR4 on the Google toolbar. Perhaps that is just an updating issue?

I have submitted my site to DMOZ, and last time I checked the category I would like my site in hadn't been updated since before I got my site up and running!

Wait for google wants to update the info.
Last time was 8-29 I think.
You haven't trouble while pages are listed in serps.

Chuckling a bit cause when I saw the thread title, my first thought was "uh, when did I write that post and where's the lil' yellow icon?"

I'm in the same boat. The Directory PR indicator went flatline on me back around or just before Dominmerleda came around. No recovery to date, although many prior not yet ranked pages created since April now show PR1 to PR4 and the index page has again reached pr 5.

As for the flat line problem at the directory, I figure it'll sort itself out soon enough. Good luck to us both in the interim.

Speaking of the Google directory, just when will it get updated? The page comparable to our ODP directory page hasn't been updated for at least 6 months. I can't say for the rest of the directory.
