I find this the best tool, it checks different datacenters since they might differ: http://www.digpagerank.com But you could always download the google toolbar and see the PR everytime you visit the website! And if you're looking for easy way to see it for multiple website, this might be interesting too: http://www.urltrends.com/ There you can do them 1 by one, or register. Then you can add them to your watchlist so you'll get updates of a few domains (then it's free, if you want more you have to pay). With that you'll get all the important statistics in 1 overview of all the domains.
It's not bad! It's more like normal when you have a decent website. Just try to get it higher, you're certainly on the right path. I think when it reaches 4/5 you can start calling it 'good', anything above is very good
Here is m favorite: http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_checker? This tool will check the rank of your internal pages as well: http://www.pagerank-monitor.com/ Really handy
There's a great free toolbar that will give you Google, Yahoo, MSN, Alexa, all your inbound and outbound links for any site you put into your browser. It' a great tool. Check it out at: http://www.seoquake.com Works for Mozilla and IE. Cheers
The guys allredy answered that one But i wana add that PR is just a number PR doesn't mean higher traffic or higher rankings Regards
