Can a page have PR but not be in the index?

[fischermx]

I have a website which is actually a subdomain from other domain. It has PR2 however doing a site:subdomain.example.com returns nothing.
Isn't this weird?

Are there good links to the site? Perhaps the pages have been recently dropped? Are they unique pages....?

[fischermx]

It has just a few links, but trying the "link" command does not return any link either.

Remember that the link: command only returns a selection of links, and tends to drop those of low significance or of low page-rank.

I also wonder if internal pages are less featured. Pick the index-page of a big site which links to the index-page from every header. Run allinurl:bigsite and see thousands of pages. Run link:bigsite/index.html and fail to see all those internal pages (!)

Try taking a short, unique, part of the textual content of the page, put it in quotes, and type it into Google. See if it comes up. That's what I do when I really want to know once-and-for-all whether the page is in or out!

One of my domains was recently banned by Google yet toolbar shows a PR=6 on one of the pages. So it could appear to have page rank and still be banned, most definitely.

I second that, I have 2 domains that have been banned by google for about 2 years and their homepages both have PR4's now. The internal pages have PR0's..

This has been going on for about a week or more sinse I noticed it. Could this be another google trick to confuse people about PR? I think so.

Is it really possible to have a good PR and still be banned.Like one of my clients site www.domain.com has a PR6 but its inner pages have PR0.

not really! nothing right now surprises me about Google. I've got a site thats not banned but has loads of PR4 pages that have no cached info!
