I hate to ask such a dumb question but.....

What the heck is PR1-5 mean?

[BoomerTC]

OK, so I'm fairly new, but I hear everyone talking about their page being a PR4 and their competitor being PR5 and how great it would be to be a PR6.

What does this mean and how do I find out what PR I am and my comptetitors are?

PR stands for Page Rank [google.com]. It is googles way of ranking how trusted a page is based on the nimber of inbound links. You can view a sites PR with the google toolbar [toolbar.google.com] if you have IE. It is a scale from 1 to 10.

This is the "Pidgeon Rank" of a site.
If your're a top breed pidgeon type site,
you get a higher page rank. This is explained
on google itself very clearly:

[google.com...]

So therefore this information is 100% correct.
