How come google has more PR than Yahoo Mail?
 

I was going to check my yahoo email when I noticed that the http://mail.yahoo.com page has only a PR8, while google.com has PR10
How is that possible? Are more people hitting google than checking their emails on Yahoo?
It seems a little tooooo bias to me.

Because they can. :)

because they own it LOL

Because more sites link to google than to yahoo mail perhaps?

you have a point.. most likely google has more link popularity, but isn't PR also based on page importance, such as how many people hit it every day?

May be I am wrong...

If I had to make a bet, I'd say you're wrong.

i doubt if no one linked to google , it would have no PR. probably set to permanent 10

Yep, I'm pretty sure she's wrong...

Yes, look at the backlinks for both urls:
http://mail.yahoo.com/ has 186,000 backlinks
http://www.google.com/ has 2,790,000 backlinks

So Google should have the higher PR.

like ppl here said, google owns the PR thing

It's called business.

I like to pretend I know what I'm talking about from time to time.
