To read Google's PageRank score one must download and install the Google Toolbar. It's free and located at http://toolbar.google.com.
It's quick to download, simple to install, and attaches automatically to your IE Browser – just follow the instructions.
Once installed, you can view Google's PageRank of any site by simply hovering your cursor over the PageRank icon located on your browser's toolbar, and voilà! ...a rating will appear.
PageRank can be used to determine Google's opinion of any page. Of course, a low number means that (according to Google) the page is less significant. A totally "grey" toolbar means the page is unranked, banned, or Google doesn't know about it.
All in all, it's a useful tool and actually quite indispensable if you are optimizing pages to score well in the Google index.
