Day - Oct 22nd 2005 - New pagerank 10/10 list.

PageRank( PR ) 10/10 sites list (New) - Day - Oct 20nd 2005, updated Backlink and PageRank by Google

Day - Oct 20nd 2005 , when Google like seems to dancing when he starts PageRank updates. Firstly I am very happy for seeing the page rank of www.blogger.com/start it’s now backlinks 89,200. We predict PageRank updates from movement in SERPs and our PageRank 10 sites list is updated within 6 hours from PageRank update going live in all data centres of google, Google Toolbar PageRank is update on Oct 20nd 2005. But it really shocked when I see Msn.com page rank is 2.

msn - has a canonical url problem: Well at least the start of one - the www.msn.com is still very powerful so I doubt it would fully develop.

link:msn.com = 7770 (PR8)

link:www.msn.com = 8 (PR2) (Although this looks like it might now be www.msn.com/?mn=3)

So the PR2 really belongs to www.msn.com/?mn=3

The msn.com showing seperarely is is a bit weird too as msn have had a 301 redirect from non-www to www for ages.

While lots of webmasters have been complaining about having lost rankings, we found it amusing that the new PageRank assigned to www.msn.com is 2. (MSN.Com used to be at a PlageRank of 9 if we recall correctly).
