Google announced a few weeks ago that page rank won't be updated going forward.

Moz Domain Authority is very similar to Google's Page Rank (they have tried to backwardly engineer Page Rank and they are pretty close). They don't crawl as far and as deep as Google, but with each month refresh they are getting closer.

Moz DA is very accurate in places like US, UK etc but in more of the developing world, where they have few few customers they admit they don't crawl as much as they would like at the moment.

Also they only tend to crawl the larger, more established sites (which is where you want links from, not Joe Bloggs website that has a DA of 1, no good content or links pointing to it), so Moz might not pick up on every link you might get - but Google isn't perfect as well and doesn't guarantee to pick up on every link pointing to your site.

You are best ignoring Page Rank as this is an old metric that no longer will be refreshed.

The only place we tend to use page rank is when we are discussing the history of SEO during training courses.

As Andy wrote, Page Rank is going to be outdated very soon since it will no longer be updated.

However, for the next months at least, I still think it's useful to compare PR vs DA and if there is a discrepancy you can probably assume the site was penalized (at the very least it is a warning sign to look into more closely)

Please Ignore SaraSEO.

Google Page Rank hasn't been updated to us since the 6/12/13 nearly a year ago, so the data you see is all ready a waste of time.

Google will still use and update Page Rank, however they won't be updating the tool bar.

But SaraSEO comments about being useful the coming months is not true - its over a year out of date so why would this data be helpful, we had had three major updates since then and not to mention all the little updates that will have taken place.

Sorry for the confused!

@andy-halliday is correct and I thought the accidental Dec 2013 update had been more recent
