Hi there,



It has been tested, you should do research first. It has been working, if you read my post, someone with very little education and knowledge could see the answer within my post. In that case I won't explain again, you can find out for yourself.



Again, I have explained the 'Cannot Determine' appears either;

1. Don't have enough backlinks
   
2. Google is updating its backlinks or PR

So I guess if it isn't working for Google or Yahoo! then....work it out there are only 2 options. Guessed yet?



OK, I guess since you know that everything is broken, even though I assure you it isn't, you must be correct because you probably get all the inside information and all. If it's broken (which I have told you it isn't)...FIX IT!!!



Yes, a major factor in Google's eyes. And any webmaster with general sense about PR knows PR doesn't really have value on a domain unless PR6+ generally. Getting PR is easy. Would you like a PR4 website with 100 uniques a month, or a PR0 with 1,000,000 uniques a month? Again, work out what I am saying for yourself.

PR is like an Alexa Ranking - no good unless you are ranking high! Am I right?



Trust me, I am an administrator here, I don't just make things up. The status of the tool is exactly what I posted above...otherwise I wouldn't bother writing it would I?

Did you like the tone of my post...well...I didn't like yours. Why don't you try to acknowledge next time that I don't get paid to help around iWEBTOOL, and it takes up my spare time, I do this out of my generosity and the thought that I was in a 'newbie' situation once. Think about your attitude next time please, you genuinly offended me - and it doesn't happen all the time.



Regards,
Kieran Taylor.

Nice putting my 'education and knowledge' in question..
Excellent explanation Taylor, but.. I think we talk around each other...

Try checking a domain that you've never checked before, then check it again. First time you get a prediction, the second time the tool breaks. I can upload a screenshot if you want. This issue is not related to the message ''Cannot Determine''. Does that make more sense?


I'm still convinced it's broken, but I don't have monopoly on the truth, so I'm open to any explanation why the described behavior is correct.



I'm simply stating that PR is a major factor in Google algo, you said 'PR is not worth anything anyway'. I've been doing this for a loong time and simply reacted on the blunt statement. (and I think you're dead wrong about comparing PR to Alexa, but that's completely OT)


I wouldn't know. Are you involved with the maintenance of the website outside being a forum administrator? As you can see I'm a new member here and simply assumed that 'forum administrator' meant just that.

I don't think your tone is over the line, but I might have a different forum background that you. No biggie.
I fail to see the relevance to the prediction tool, but kudos absolutely. My posts have not been related to the forum. If you also maintain the tool, please look at the info I gave above about testing a new domain twice and you'll see what I mean. My ignorance to who's who around here is obvious, look at my postcount.
Hmm.. didn't really see anything wrong with it, but I hear you.

junjun

Who's maintaining the prediction tool anyways?

Katey

Hi there,


In question, I never did that. I simply said that some 'one' with so little education and knowledge could see what I meant.



Please call me 'Kieran'.



I have had this before, and I have given the same answer as you. I have tested it again for the likes of making you a much happier person...and it worked .




Well I gave you an explanation. And be convinced on your thoughts, it may well give me something to do when I'm bored.




I never compared PR to Alexa ranking, I simply used one example to explain the other, i.e. 'My Dad's car is as fast John's motorcycle', a car and a motorcycle are not the same thing, but they are indeed comparable in some aspect, and you can use one example to explain the other.




Not directly, although I do get full information on everything that goes on, multiple persons run different parts of the website. I happen to be an administrator of here, and we have a 'Support' forum, so I do need information on things that are going on within the whole iWEBTOOL website...including information regarding the welfare of the web tools.




...



Well to put it in basic terms...I felt your response was very light hearted considering I went out of my way to answer your post, like I do with most people's, what my point was basically - if you don't like my answer at least appreciate it as I DON'T have to help - I simply CHOOSE to.





Regards,
Kieran Taylor.

Works for you, not for me.. Can you get the attention of the people maintaining the tool and let them know of this screenshot? It's possible they don't know of this. If they don't care or care about feedback on it I'll just crawl back to the little hole I appeared from.

Google determites your pagerank by retrieving quality backlinks, this is the way Google judges a web sites pagerank.

Hi there,


Use the contact us form. I am sick of telling you the same thing. You should know where the contact form is since you have an extensive background on forums.

Kieran Taylor.

junjun

It shows insufficient backlinks even for google.com and yahoo.com, and it's been like that for a while now.. :sad: Hopefully one of the developers will see this thread.

Meti

It might be related to the whole Pagerank update thing, it happened that last PR update the tool was acting just like it does now.

Check the Pagerank checker, it doesn't work at times either (at the moment) probably cause Google are going through all these updates etc.

At least, this is what I believe, don't think I am positive, just my opinion(s).


Thanks,
Meti

Hi there,


That's exactly the reason I have been trying to put across but no one seems to listen . I am now very fed up of explaining the same things over and over again to people, I am going to post an announcement about support in these forums...

Kieran Taylor.

I've had the same problem. I wonder if they are discouraging us from repeatedly checking our predicted PR multiple times in one day?

Who's discouraging us? If you're referring to Google, they aren't.
It's just that they're in middle of a PR update, that's why the tool(s) aren't working properly, please check after the PR update, and you will see that the tools are working just great.

I hope everyone understand the reason why the tool(s) are having a weird behaviour.

Oh, i see. I was wondering if maybe people running queries while google was updating made it hard on google, but now that i think about it, google is rich and has a ton of servers!
