Hey Teemu,

Thanks for writing in and sorry that you are having some issues with the Historical PageRank tool. Unfortunately, this is an older tool that we don't no longer support so it can sometimes be buggy. We do keep this tool available because sometimes the tool can still provide data with great value, but I'm afraid that it oftentimes does not work properly. I'm really sorry about that!

I just tested out the tool for a handful of URLs. For some it brought up data on the first try, but others required submitting the URL a few times, but I did eventually get data for all of the URLs so I would recommend retrying the tool a few times if you don't see an update immediately.

If you’d like to leave feedback about the tool, a great place for that would be in the SEOmoz Feature Request Forum. That is the forum our product team uses to prioritize tools and requests.

Thanks for your understanding! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Seems buggy. You have to try several times then you get a result.

I have not used it in a year or so, but I remember I always had to try 3 - 5 times.

I also think I remember reading somewhere, google asked people to stop or they revoked access to historical PR data.

But I could have dreamed that....
