Page Rank

[wonderboy]

Just downloaded the google browser bar thing and found out my site only has a rating of 4/10, wondering if this is my actual ranking from google in terms of where I am displayed in search results?

How do I improve this ranking specifically if this is the case, and if not, how do i do it anyways =)

Your PR is going to be a factor, though not the largest factor, on where one of your pages appears in the search returns when that page is relevant to someone's search.

However, your 'site' doesn't have a 'page' rank. The page on your site you were looking at has a page rank,(PR), of 4.

Your PR 4 on that page can actually be 4.000000, 4.500000 or even 4.999999.

How can you find out a sites true PageRank?
Are there any tools for this? Or do you just use the Googlebar?

And while i'm at the topic of tools, are there any tools you need for optimizing your site? (except ofcourse textpad for editing ..lol)

This earlier discussion will give you some ideas on how to get a closer estimate of your actual PR:
