Page ranking is different to search engine listings

I see the google rank of every site/page I view online with google bar http://toolbar.google.com/?promo=mor-tb-en

A ranking of three is quite low as the score goes from 1-10 with ten being the highest score but last week BCUK did not have a score at all. However this is not bad news. What this means is google has updated there page ranks and BCUK has finally got into the system googles search spider should be bouncing all over the site right now. a score of any kind means amongst others that a site is established and well linked google. Having a quick scan google lists 52 links to BCUK the page ranking should increase slowely but this only seems to happen every couple of months. By the way rmears site has a google ranking of five but comes lower down in the search engine.

I am no web guru but basically put to increase page ranking you need content and BCUK has plenty of that but back of house things can be helped along by placing a clear organised map for the spider to search but this is just scraping over the surface of a very mind boggling subject.

I think we often have various spiders come to visit, some of the guests you see counted are spiders.
