Twitter is itself god for google ranking and if twitter profile PR is good, it's excellent.

Greg- No doubt there is a level of mystery here. And given the latest words from Matt Cutts on PR sculpting, things are changing (as always) in how Google calculates PR. @wbaustin commented above that PR changes if you use a forward slash or not at the end of the twitter handle in the URL. I have two accounts, one is roughly a year old and has PR2 without “/” and PR3 with. The newer account (6mos) has PR5 and PR0 respectively.

Any PR gurus out there that might offer some insight?

This is what I saw around a month ago. My profile was a PR4 now it's a PR1- I've been on Twitter for over 700+ days and do all the things you mentioned here but still dropped. It might be followers, I don't have that many and don't follow that many. I guess it's all relevant to the changes happening in search today.

@mattcutts @mpdotcom I did not try that tool but I certainly could. Usually after a toolbar PR update is complete, the toolbar values are fairly consistent across data centers.

The results with the tool are the same – no / PR2 with / PR4

Another friend has – no / PR5 with / PR0

and your twitter profile is the same as his – no / PR5 with / PR0

Bill-

For that I would be just as curious! Let's see if he responds to your question here. On a sidenote, did you also try the PR tool referenced above in this post to see what it says?

Good evening Travis.

I guess I have a question for @mattcutts ...

The Google Toolbar actually shows two different PageRank values for my twitter profile now.

Does Google actually believe that http://twitter.com/wbaustin/ (PR4) and http://twitter.com/wbaustin (PR2) are different pages?

Inquiring minds want to know.
