how page rank is calculated for dynamic sites.

I am checking google for the results of this update and I noticed something interesting.

Except for the homepage, all other pages on the site are jsp in this format:

http://MYSITEADDRESS/servletRedir?pag=eco.jsp&grp=2

or

https://MYSITEADDRESS/servletRedir?pag=eco.jsp&grp=2

The interesting thing is that these pages have greybar on google bar. However they are listed and some are even well ranked.

Is this a toolbar problem, or they really have no PR?

I wouldn't worry, rodpuga.

I haven't noticed the Toolbar giving correct results for https URLs or those with "?"s in.

Thanks ciml.

Is there any other way to check the PR for these pages?

The only direct way I can think of is to get the full URLs into the ODP and wait for the Google Directory.

More seriously, you could measure the PageRank by analysing a well known structure linked from it. For example, if you link to a "static" looking URL that's linked from nowhere else, then you could calculate the approximate Toolbar PR of the page that links to it. With more advanced link structure, you can find the PageRank to a much higher resulution than the Toolbar can.
