The PageRank value that you see on the Toolbar should not be confused with the <strong>real PageRank<\/strong> value of your pages. Unlike toolbar PageRank, the real PageRank is updated on a daily basis. An increase on your toolbar value indicates that your real PageRank has been <strong>recently<\/strong> increased but don\u2019t forget that this is one of the <strong>200<\/strong> signals that Google uses to evaluate the rankings.
