Well, at least approximately…

I hate to even write about this, since the value of PageRank is so hugely overvalued. But, it's still an interesting barometer for a website even if it doesn't have near the effect on your ranking in search results that did it the good ol' days. But here's the rub: Google only rarely updates the "published" PageRank that you see in places like the Google Toolbar. For example, it shows a PageRank of 0 for Spa Emergency.

You can, however, get a current, if only approximate PageRank from Google Webmaster Tools, which shows your page with highest PageRank (almost always your home page), and the number of pages (although not which ones) with low, medium and high PageRank. So, it's only approximate, and it translates so:

• Low: PageRank of 1 to 3
• Medium: PageRank of 4 to 6
• High: PageRank of 7 or higher

There's a big difference between a PageRank of 4 vs. 6. But, there is some value in this, particularly for a brand new website where you're actively working on search engine optimization (SEO). Spa Emergency, for example, shows a "medium" PageRank.

   Gary, I think you missed the point. Toolbar doesn't show 'Latest' PageRank value… it show old, months old value.
