Stupid question

[azguy]

I apologize for the dumb question, but in the SEOmoz toolbar, where is the page rank feature? I see page and root domain, but don't see the page rank.

Sorry

Page Rank is old new and its better to judge a site on its Page and Domain Authority. If you wish to see a websites Page Rank and also its MOZrank download an add on for your browser called 'Searchstatus.' It only works in Firefox and Seamonkey so make sure your using the correct browser. Having the SEOMOZ toolbar and the Searchstatus add on, you have many factors to take into consideration when judging a website.

Good luck with your ventures.

Thanks Ryan! The video isn't working. Bummer

I prefer the following articles on the topic. They are short and clear explanations.

If you really want to see more, you can take a look at: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-domain-authority-page-authority-metrics

That link is for part 1 of 2 on the subject. If you are wide awake and ready to carefully follow along, it can work. It is a bit dry in my opinion.

Okay. So I need to learn and understand better what Page Authority and Domain Authority numbers are. Any videos to teach me

Do you have both toolbars running at same time?

[RyanKent]

PR is constantly updated within Google's system; however, it is only updated on our toolbars once every 3-4 months. It is generally not helpful to offer a fairly static measurement in a toolbar. As Bevelwise suggested, it's better to focus on PA/DA.

SEOMoz's toolbar focuses on their Page Authority & Domain Authority stats, which emulate the Google Page Rank score to a degree.  I would recommend focusing more on PA & DA and not Page Rank.  I also have the SEOBook toolbar installed and that is where I see Google PR.  You could also use Google's toolbar.
