List of web sites with high PageRank
Okay so here's the deal: not too long ago, Wikipedia had a page listing known websites with a PageRank of 10, and a large number of sites with PageRank 9. However, for some reason it was decided that the page contradicted Wikipedia's article policy and it was deleted. I decided to put a copy here on my site for anyone who misses the Wikipedia page to view.
As Google changes their algorithms regularly, different sites gain and lose PR10 status. This page is updated periodically to reflect this; if you would like to contribute, you can email webmaster ~at~ doheth.co.uk with additions.
Introduction
The following is a list of websites with a high PageRank as assigned by the Google search engine. PageRank (PR) is the number of points out of ten that signifies the importance of a site to Google. The PageRank number appears to be logarithmic, with a single point representing an order of magnitude difference of importance. See Wikipedia's PageRank entry for more information.
This list is a portion of all PageRank 9 and 10 pages derived from the Google Toolbar, which displays the PageRank of a web page currently displayed by a browser. The exact PageRank may vary slightly, due to changes in ranking by Google, or by local differences through use of different Google servers or through DNS behavior (e.g., google.com may redirect to its regional sites, which may have lower PageRank). Redirects from a high PageRank page may reduce the redirected page's PageRank.
