Does anyone know why Moz.com appears to have a PR of 2 now?

[Carla_Dawson]

I noticed that shortly after the move from seomoz.com to moz.com the site had a PR of 6. Now my PR tools says Moz.com has a PR2. This seems wrong. I noticed they did redirects for every single URL they used to have.

Hi Carla,

My guess would be that it has to do with the domain change. Typically a takes a few weeks for those types of tools and Google to recognize all of the redirects and domain change.

I would assume that after a few weeks you will see their page rank back to where it once was.

Do you know if SEOmoz was www or non www because:

http://seomoz.org is 301 redirecting to http://www.seomoz.org

and http://www.seomoz.org is redirecting to http://moz.com/

http://seomoz.org should probably be 301 redirecting to http://moz.com/ to avoid that second hop. If the site was non www they could be losing PR being passed to the new domain.

I thought the Toolbar PR was several months behind actual PR results.

Usually it takes a while for the PR update to propagate through.

I think the same as you Branden, Google PR Toolbar is very out of date.

Yes, intentional move by Google. People were selling links with tier based pricing based on PR.
