Yahoo PR9 - Google PR10

[Audentio]

Yahoo and Google are hands down two of the largest, if not the largest, internet businesses and services out there. Why is Yahoo a PR9? They obviously have enough backlinks to get a ten, no doubt, so why doesnt google "let" them be a ten?

[shamkabir]

I think this is business policy. Because both are comparator's. If google want to then easily they can give pr10. But in business factor they don't do that. This is not good. What you say ?

My toolbar shows Yahoo being a PR10 website now.

What Shamkabir says could be true, the google page rank listing Yahoo as 9 is probably because they are competitors. But after this update it ought to be 10. When I try using other page rank tools, Yahoo is listed as 10.

In my Tool bar yahoo has the page rank of 10

when i go for the sub-domain http://my.yahoo.com/ the PR becomes 9 so there is a lot difference i think

Another theory - Google always tries to be innovative, so they want their PR method to meet a list of practically impossible requirements (for now). If they want their method to be a TOP method, that's mean that PR 10 is NOT a leading position, but THE leaders. So, I think that they can have their PR 10 unreachable.

thats bad yahoo is much better than google i think google people are not likeing yahoo due to competion...plz yahoo buckup get your pr grades too...

[descorpio]

Yeah its true even with my page rank tool bar. sometimes it shows the page rank for yahoo as 9 and sometimes as 10. I could not understand the theory behind it. It may also be because of the competition prevailing.

[puffin]

I think Google just dont like everyone to see his competitor to matches them in PR. I don't even think that Google site PR is calculated i think its a static thing.

well, from what i see yahoo has PR 10.

so, it's like this:

PR 10: Google.com, Yahoo.com, Microsoft.com
check this out:

Indexed Pages for microsoft.com
Google: 9,340,000
MSN Search: 181,239,693
Yahoo!: 0
AlltheWeb: 14,700,000
AltaVista: 14,900,000

why Microsoft has 0 pages indexed on yahoo? they don't want... or yahoo doesn't want them?
