My main google page has a page rank of 6 and all my other dynamically generated pages have a rank of 3 or 4.

However when I do a site command, google only has my main page, and none of the other pages are listed.

So can google give you page rank without listing you in the index.

My dynamic pages got page rank 3 or 4 months ago, so i figure they should have shown up in the index by now.

The main page is obviously in the index. Your internal pages may appear to not be in the index because they have a PR of less than 4 (from some reason it appears that pages with less than a PR of 4 are not appearing as links). If you enter your domain in the search field (i.e., www.domain.com) you should see a link that says "Find web pages that contain the term "www.domain.com". Click on that link and that will tell you if your internal pages are in the index or not.

If those pages are truly not listed in the index, your page rank is probably a "guess."

To see what pages are listed:

site:yoururl.com -weirdtermnotusedinanypage

What that does is check your site, pulls up all pages that do NOT have the weird term in them, which should be everything in the index.

Tried both methods. They are definitely not there.

Maybe this is a side effect of the change in the update process. Im sure that my secondary PR3 pages will be in the index someday. Maybe after the next full update (Frankenstein?), if it ever happens.

From what I have seen, it is possible for a site to have PR, show backlinks, and not be in Google's index.

Google's backlinks are very old right now, and should not be an indication of whether a site is in the index.
