…. the coolest Google PR tool that SEW found, from Webmaster Eyes.

What it Does: It overlays the Google PR of any page linked from that site with the site’s PR.
Why it’s Cool: You can study it to learn more about how the PR is distributed on the site – after all it’s the individual pages that matter, not necessarily the site. You can also click on the PR button to navigate the site.
More About Google PR: MasterNewMedia.org has a mega-page on this.

Now, in case you’re new here, PR refers to Google Page Rank, and technically, just knowing it, or even having it, won’t increase your traffic by itself. But the clout itself IS often a traffic magnet when you get to 5 and higher. If high traffic is what you want though, you’re better off balancing relevant,fresh content with traffic-producing links pointing to you.

If the whole thing about Google Page Rank confuses you, the simplest way to explain it in laymans terms is that some links to your site count more than others, and that this is because Google considers some sites more “important” than others. Quantity counts, but Quality matters too.
