There is no reason this site should not have a pagerank??

I launched wickeronparkdotcom over 2 months ago and Backwards Links (Google: 18, Yahoo: 15, and MSN: 4, MSN Beta: 30, and we are ranked in the top 3 for some fairly competitive keywords in MSN Beta). Our website is updated pretty much on a daily basis.

Any thoughts on why we wouldn't have a Pagerank?

There hasn't been a Pagerank update for a while in google, last known Pagerank update happened around oct 1st week, Then the the toolbar pagerank reverted back to the old pagerank, now it is showing the oct 1st week updated pagerank,

Since your site has been launched only before 2 months it takes time to gain some toolbar pagerank, Dont worry too much what google shows in their toolbar your Pagerank will be updated internally in google's datacenters when ever they update the backlink data for a site, Keep working on your site and keep gaining more links your site ranking will naturally improve,

CGriffin: You domain is showing a Creation Date: 02-sep-2004. So if you launched the website over two months ago the site would have been up for the Oct 6th Toolbar PR update.

Out of the 18 links that Google shows it shows you have 3 external links which have a PageRank of PR2, PR4 and a PR5. These 3 links would be enough to give you a PR2 or PR3 on your home page.

I guess the question is where the links up and in the the index before Oct 6th. And that would need to be about 12 or more days before Oct 6th. So you would need to have those links up say Sept 20th or so for them to count.

I would guess that the links were not up in time.

Having said that I would suggest that you just keep on working on gathering more links with your targeted keywords in the anchor text. PR doesn't have all that much Ranking weight to it anyway.

We have had a 2 BL updates since the last Toolbar PR update on Oct 16th and Oct 28th and some people maintain that there is a Real PR update when ever there is a BL update, and that certianly has been the history of how things when prior to June 22 when Google stopped updating the Toolbar PR every month.

So I would guess that you pages have real PR, just we have not had a Toolbar PR update since Oct 16/28 BL update and you don't see the PR you site has on the Toolbar PR scale.
