SEOMoz PR vs. Google PR

[Champions]

I have the SEO MozBar set up and for one of the sites we are maintaining, it is showing them on a 59 as PA in the MozBar.  When I check it on Google PR, it has either no info or a 0.  http://www.prchecker.info was one of the ones I found which shows them as 0.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes sorry, that's what I meant It can't be exact of course as SEOmoz don't know the algo, but it's as close as anyone is going to get.

yes, that's right. I never put trust in Google PR anymore ; I don't trust the websites that give the rank. Stick to Moz metrics...

So, by that you mean that the Moz Rank would be the most aproximate measure of the real PR google have about an site?

There could be a number of reasons.  Perhaps Google has reset the PR because of a transfer of ownership or they found the site practicing shady link tactics and removed their PR. Then again it could be that they have established a lot of quality links since the last Google PR update which mozRank is finding but Google is not yet showing.

Without knowing more details it will be hard to give a precise answer, but keep in mind even what is shown in Google PR toolbar or other pr checking tools are just a snapshot at some point in time taken prior to the last update, so it is out of date and really shouldn't be bothered with.  Unless, of course, you are concerned with the buying and selling of links, which is a practice frowned upon by Google.

Ignore Google PR... it means nothing anymore and isn't your real PR. They say regard it as "For entertainment purposes only" now days

In other words, Moz Rank is the only one you want to think about.
