      I have a website with PR2 at the home page.

      In the top menu, i have a link to 4 different pages.

      All but one have PR1.

      The only difference is that the page that doesn't have the PR1, is a page where the content has been loaded using Ajax.

      This page says "Without qualify"

      Strange or logical?

        Seems logical to me; PageRank doesn't always flow exactly as you'd expect, but this is more or less how it tends to work.  It's also true that in the end, PageRank alone is 100% meaningless.  PR0 pages outrank PR8 pages all the time in Google.

        Where are you seeing the phrase "without quality"?  Without knowing too much more, it's also true that spiders have trouble reaching content loaded via JavaScript, and may think that the given page isn't useful to search users (which, if it had no readable content, it wouldn't be).  Totally independent of PageRank, I'd consider taking a look at whether Google has that page in their index with a "site:domain" search, and see how they're treating it.

          The page it's in the index.

          Indeed if Google can't see the Ajax Content would be almost a page without content.

          Still strange or logical?
