Degrees of PR - where can I check mine?

[DesignsOnline]

Hi can anyone tell me where I can find a site that will show you degrees of page rank?

I know it is possible to be for example a PR 4 but almost 5 or a PR4 but only just above 3. But I cant find anywhere a site that lets you check where abouts on the scale you are....

I suddenly went from a PR4 to a PR3, I know we are approaching another PR change time and this messes up stuff, but I am curious to check.

I also need to sort out a better Linking system, as I have almost no Back links at the moment :
(link:www.designsonline.co.uk shows 17 backlinks,)
&
(http://www.designsonline+co.uk is showing 274 , whereas yesterday it was well over 560...?)

I am not geting any work at the moment and need to do something to pull in the traffic...

You won't find that information anywhere. It's proprietary to Google and they won't let anyone see it.

There's actually two "versions" of PageRank. There's the PR that you and I see (on a scale of 1 to 10) through the Google Toolbar. Google calls that "external PR". Then there's the REAL PageRank called "internal PR", which only Google themselves know about, and you and I will never get that information.

The external PR that you and I see on the Google Toolbar is very out of date, as it is only updated once every three or four months.

Goto: Type in google "Future Pagerank" and the first link is a tool that checks your pr between google dc's. What even better is in 2 weeks the pr update will be under way and you can watch in un-fold for your sites. Hope this helps a little.

You sort of can kinda work it out....

If, for eg, your home page is PR5 and a deeper page that links of that is also a PR5 (for eg) - you could assume that the home page is a high PR5. If the deep page is PR4, then you could assume that the home page is a low PR5 (other thingd being equal)

Thanks,
I had never come across the future rank before. When would be the best time to use it? At the moment it all reads PR3 still :(

Can any one recommend a good SE freindly automated link system for gathering decent back links, I am going to stop using Pay Per Click ads soon, so most of my current Back Links will vanish. I need to replace them with permanent ones. (If anyone is feeling generous and want to offer me a nice high PR back link I will be very grateful) At the moment I have a single link exchange page, but manually adding links one at a time will take forever to gather the amount I need.

Any Suggestions...?

NO! there are no short cuts unless you want link farms. Just go to dear old www.pheedster.com/directories.php and get cut and pasting
I was hoping to beat two mods and post the old 1 hit com - but it does not work anymore. But there is an excellent explanation article here http://free-webmaster-tools.com/arti...e-pagerank.htm
