Google Page Rank Explained
ByThe Three States of Page Rank.
and other miscellaneous nuances
While Page Rank may seem ‘cut and dry’, PR really is much more convoluted. Below I show examples and go on to explain the meaning as well as related issues.
- 0/10
- Unranked
- No Page Rank Available
The 3 States Explained
- 0/10: The page does not have enough rank to show 1
- Unranked: Google is aware of the page and has not yet assigned rank
- No Page Rank Available: Google has not ranked the page/site or will not rank the page/site
Other Miscellaneous Nuances
- Were you aware that every page of the same PR is not created equal? Each Rank has many degrees within it and possibly many thousands of links separating each one.
- Did you know that the page rank displayed on the toolbar is not the same as the PR that Google sees (Gasp, yes it’s true!)?
- Were you aware that the toolbar PR you see is actually delayed several months?
- Also, my personal favorite, the PR you see in the toolbar may actually be deliberately misrepresented by Google.

Ranking well in search for important keywords/phrases is far more important that the number shown in the Google toolbar for PageRank. What matters is the relevance and trustworthiness of the incoming links
Toolbar PageRank — is just a reading of internal PageRank(actual PR) taken every few months.

I think we can all agree PageRank is just a measure of page authority in Googles eyes. Not so much to do with Optimization as lower PR sites can outrank higher PR.
