But if those numbers are what Google is reporting to you about your site, and those numbers are what Google is going to use to factor in page rankings, then they are far from meaningless for users who love SE traffic and get the majority of it from Google.
No, sorry... you are wrong.
Those numbers in Google Labs are not used by Google in PageRank factoring.
Where on Earth did you get that idea?
Google PR comes from GoogleBot and standard GoogleBot post-processing not from Google Toolbar reporting... this is common knowledge, BTW. You can easily learn about PR here on Wikipedia and elsewhere; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank
I am a bit surprised by your post... it is completely wrong.
Quote:
PageRank in its simplest sense (as per Sergey and Larry's thesis at Stanford) is the relative value of any single page on the internet in relation to every page on the internet. Toolbar PageRank is the pagerank score for any page (on a scale from 1-10) that is shown by google to the public in the google toolbar... For many years, there has been some question about the true relationship between real-time pagerank and toolbar pagerank, because at best, toolbar pagerank only shows the pagerank of a page as of the most recent toolbar pagerank export, which traditionally, google only does once every 3-4 months (give or take)... This most recent toolbar pagerank export/update, my site rose to a PR6, meaning that it's real pagerank the day/week before the update was undoubtedly PR6, however it showed in the toolbar as a PR5, because that's what it had the last update, months earlier...
In other words, Google Toolbar only reports (and not very well), PageRank... it is not used to calculate PR or any other Google metric that determines how your page is indexed.
