In a DigitalPoint Forums thread, a member asks how to check for an invalid PageRank. This is a timely question given that there was a PageRank update earlier this week. Since you can fake your PageRank, it's good to have the right tools on hand to verify PageRank.

Danny at Search Engine Land just wrote an incredible authoritative guide to PageRank and highlights some points that still need to be reiterated: PageRank really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things and it is only one measure of "importance" for your site but isn't updated all too often and thus shouldn't be considered heavily.

Best way is to check manually on IP which shows updated PR.
