A webmaster wanted to swap links with me. I went to his site and according to my toolbasr, he had no PR. The bar was grey. He says his toolbar shows a PR of 6. Is he bs-ing me or could this be possible somehow?

The toolbar acts up sometimes. Close all your instances of IE, reopen it, restart the toolbar and then go to the main page of his site.

And keep in mind that the main page might be PR6 but the further down you get to the links pages the PR will probably be different.

If soemeone wants to swap links with you, do you look at the PR of his main page, his links page, or both? Which has greater importance?

PR is a per page ranking. You should look at the PR of the links page and how many links are on that page.

You may not be looking at the same page he is. Is it possible that he is looking at domain.com, while you are looking at www.domain.com. The toolbar sees these as 2 different pages.

Ok, once again for the newb here, if the person has no page rank for www.domain.com but a PR of six for domain.com is that a problem?

It would concern me I think I would research how it was getting the 6 on the links page.

to answer the uninteresting opening question: it is possible that two people get another pr value for exactly the same url. you even yourself can get 2 different pr values while refreshing the page.
