For us common people it will always be a 0-10 number. Your rewrite would indeed work btw, and allthough Google allows you to set it, the rewrite would still be a good idea for other SE's.

I had forgotten that google sitemaps gives you the option of defining whether you want google to spider the www or the non-www version of a site. This method does have the advantage of requiring less technical knowledge and some people maybe have servers that do not support .htaccess. I guess I prefered to adopt the .ht way as I could immediately see the effect of the change. Now Richard has reminded me I will give the sitemaps way a go. Brem, my understanding of Google page rank is that google calculates it to decimal places (how many I am unsure) and that the displayed PR in the toolbar is only rounding to the nearest whole number. I established (I think) the difference from using the page rank predictor here http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_prediction - this tool predicted not only a difference in PR but also a current difference in back links - can it's accuracy be relied upon, only time will tell.

I thought Google only disclosed integers as PR. How did you get decimals for PRs? I thought Google only disclosed integers as PR.
