...Also, you are better off making your own predictions, based on knowledge
and experience that you already have. PageRank prediction tools look up the
current PageRank and then run a few shallow tests (e.g. number of links,
which is updated more regularly than toolbar PageRank). Shallow tests give
the user hope (kind of like horoscopes) rather than an answer. They would
otherwise have become too slow.

*LOL* Good point. PageRank is unimportant if what you seek is traffic. For
business-oriented site, traffic often translates to cash.
