Are you aware of "PR"?

[Torsten]

Are you a 'PR conscious person'? No, I'm not talking about public relations, what I have in mind is Larry Page's pagerank or in other words, the ranking system that Google uses to list their websites. I've noticed that the first thing I check when I open a new website or web page is its pagerank. Maybe this is wrong, but any website whose pagerank is lower than 4 doesn't get much attention from me. That's probably not the best approach because a website can have a relatively low pagerank and still be useful. It simply might be fairly new and its pagerank therefore low. Anyway, what is your take on PR?

Alas and alack, Torsten, not only don't I have a take on that PR thing, whatever it is, I wouldn't even know where to look for it! :oops:

Hi Torsten

Although I've heard of pagerank and Larry Paige, I don't really understand much about it and have never looked at (or even tried to find out) the pagerank of a site.

So, what's the PR of this site? :P

Hi Amy,

You can see the pagerank of any web page if you have the Google Toolbar installed. The toolbar comes with a number of handy little tools such as the Google search box which allows you to 'google' keywords from within any web page. As for our website, it has a couple of PageRank 5 pages (one of which is the forum index page).
