I am working with a friend on his website and in the recent August Google update, a number of new pages were indexed. The main page has retained its PR of 6 but two new internal pages linked off the main index page have been assigned a *PR0* (white toolbar). Other newly indexed pages had assigned PR of 3 to 5.
Is the update still influx and therefore should we expect the PR to stabilize or is this a concern for us?
Obviously we do not want the internal pages with the PR0 to negatively impact the PR6 the rest of the site is receiving?
Is there anything that we can to handle this issue?
Thanks for your advice!
I have a site which contains private content and toolbar.google gives a PR0 to that content, because those pages have no public links pointing at it. Currently when I create a public page on that site the toolbar gives it an estimated PR of PR0 but once googlebot visits the page it has a correct PR value.
So the pages in question could have not made the index and google may estimate the unlisted pages on your site as PR0 ... Have you been spending alot of time looking at your logs with the toolbar phoning home? Are your logs PR0?
If your log files are PR0 I would password protect them and exclude them with robots.txt ... exclude and password protect everything you do not want google to index unless you want to make a study of that situation.

If you have reason to believe they are linking to bad neiborhoods correct those links.
I suspect they will be back next month.
