A page may be assigned a rank of zero if Google crawls very few sites that link to it. Additionally, pages
recently added to the Google index may also show a PageRank of zero because they haven’t been crawled by
Googlebot yet and haven’t been given a rank score. A page’s PageRank score may increase naturally with
subsequent crawls, so this shouldn’t be a cause for concern.

Don’t get confused with what PageRank really means. Google PageRank is a number based on a calculation or
formula; It is not the rank of your page in the Google search results. Also, the word PageRank comes from one
of the formula’s original authors, Larry Page. The word PageRank does not imply the ranking of web pages.
Google PageRank is often referred to simply as PR.

The number we see on the Google Toolbar is only updated once every three months. Therefore, if a page was
created after a certain date, it will not have its PR or “Page Rank” updated until the next update. For example,
if the last PR update was based on pages created before December 1st, then any page created after December
1st will automatically have a PR0 because it simply missed the cutoff date. Therefore, if you look at that page
on December 31st, the page could have a lot of good links going to it and it might be worth a lot to you if
that page links to you, but it could potentially still show up as a PR0 only because it missed the deadline.
