Passing page rank

[talismon]

We have implemented some static html pages recently that have already been crawled and ranked fairly well for our chosen keywords. Problem is our PR6 homepage has not passed down any PR to these new pages. How long does it take to pass the PR?
If the URL is set up like www.widgets.com/? does this have any effect on passing down the pagerank?

PR update in toolbar is updated about once a month or so.

The last update was just a week ago so I guess you have to wait a while until you see any changing.

However toolbar PR and real PR is not the same and real PR is already active in your pages if they are crawled regularly. So nothing to worry about.

There seems to be a delay in pr passing down from home pages to internal pages at the moment.I have some that have been 2 mths without pr and others have reported the same.Don't worry.

There was a PR update on 4/23, the update after that was 6/1. If your page wasn't crawled and indexed sometime before 4/27ish you didn't get PR on 6/1 update.

My PR has been being distributed around my site gradually for the past several months.

The pages are crawled alright.Its just that google have a sandbox on putting some green bar on internal pages.Nothing to worry about as pages are still scoring in the serps but it also might mean something.

I guess that the problem is caused by the '?' in the URL. In these cases there are problems with the PR value shown by the toolbar while the 'real PR' seems to be correct. (It seems that the URL in truncated after the '?' for toolbar PR queries.)

Talismon,
Google's next PR update is around. I hope you'll not have to wait for more that 2 weeks.

"It seems that the URL in truncated after the '?' for toolbar PR queries."

You're absolutely right. Some weeks ago I redirected (via the windows host file) all the toolbar queries to one of my servers. One of the most striking things about these queries was that only the part of the URL before '?' was sent to Google.

Actually you can fool a lot of people with this bug (errr, feature). Send people to widgets.com?a=subpage, and the toolbar will display the same PR as the frontpage (widgets.com), when it's in fact a PR0 page.

Was there a problem with displaying PR on toolbar. My site had all its pages as PR5. I asked my friend in US to confirm this and he said it was true. But sanity has been restored now. Note my site has almost 50 pages and all were showing PR5.

Awesome!

Thanks for all the advice!
