2. This article will guide you through the importance of the
toolbar, and its accuracy at reporting PageRank. I will also
discuss the feature about it that most people, including
many SEOs are not aware of. If you have an existing site,
use this as a reference to ensure that you are using the
toolbar properly. I am going to review the key 5 areas.
4. If you visit a page that is not in the index, but Google has a
very similar page indexed that is very close to yours, then
the toolbar will estimate its PageRank.
10. There is a big difference between toolbar PageRank and
actual PageRank. The data you see in the toolbar is 4 to 6
months old. Google tracks and assigns PageRank in real-
time, but does not update the toolbar in the same fashion.
There are multiple tools that estimate future PR, but they
are just that, estimates. Keep this in mind.
12. You can highlight all instances of the search term on the
page returned from your search. This helps you see how
many times your competitors use these keywords on their
pages, so you can adjust your SEO campaign accordingly.
Also, the backlinks feature displays all the pages that link
to yours, which Google counts towards your PageRank.
Like I said above, remember this is outdated information.

Google, and it is overrated.
