2. Google likes to offer all kinds of neat little tips and clues
regarding how it views sites. Google PageRank is one such
tool, but with questionable value.
4. Google is a highly secretive beast. If you are trying to
optimize your site to obtain high rankings, Google will
provide you with little or no information. It even fails to
show all of the links it is counting to your site, a negative
step that no other engine takes. What Google does
provide, however, is the Google PageRank for sites.

7. So, what does the Google PageRank really mean? Not
much. Originally, it was thought to be a measure of value
compared to other sites. Google still touts the tool as this,
but this claim appears a bit dubious. A site with a
PageRank of 5 will not necessarily outrank a site with a
PageRank of 3. You can perform a search on Google for
practically any keyword and see as much by looking at the
top 5 returned listings.
8. Google PageRank is an interesting tool in a very general
sense. It can be used to determine that Google has found
your site and how it generally values it compared to
others. Just keep in mind that it does not actually mean
much of anything when it comes to rankings.
