melvin’s blog is definitely undervalued. I think my blog is a bit overvalued. I think TheNetFool is right at PR3.
No offense to anyone.

Google Pagerank Update
Well it seems that Google has updated its Pagerank. Every few months, Google Updates its rankings of various website on the internet. This ranking by Google is very important for a website and influences its traffic and advertising rates. Bloggers too consider Pagerank as an important factor for their blogs.
Blog Smartly got a Pagerank 1. Although I’m not satisfied with it, I will make sure I get a good PR next time. 
Blog Smartly Fair Value Analysis
Due to the many people complaining about the unjust pagerank ranking system, I have decided to do a fair value analysis of many blogs here in this post. Below is a list of 19 blogs that are listed with their pageranks and their fair value.
Blog Smartly \"Fair Value\" Pagerank Analysis
| Blog Name | Pagerank | Fair value | Valuation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Problogger.net | 6 | 6 | Appropriate |
| Shoemoney | 6 | 6 | Appropriate |
| John Chow | 3 | 6 | Undervalued |
| John Cow | 3 | 5 | Undervalued |
| Court's IM School | 5 | 5 | Appropriate |
| The Net Fool | 3 | 4 | Undervalued |
| The University Kid | 4 | 4 | Appropriate |
| Jason Boom | 3 | 4 | Undervalued |
| Money Bites | 0 | 3 | Undervalued |
| Tyler Cruz | 2 | 2 | Appropriate |
| Rishab Sood | 3 | 3 | Appropriate |
| Viking Blogger | 3 | 3 | Appropriate |
| Da Blogger | 2 | 2 | Appropriate |
| Melvin Blog | 0 | 2 | Undervalued |
| Standout Blogger | 3 | 3 | Appropriate |
| Desmond Blog | 2 | 2 | Appropriate |
| The Germz | 3 | 3 | Appropriate |
| Web Traffic ROI | 1 | 2 | Undervalued |
| Smarter Wealth | 2 | 2 | Appropriate |
Results
Overall, Google has done a pretty good job of ranking websites this time. Although big sites like John Cow were given rankings that were totally unfair, most of the other blogs got fair rankings.
What you can learn
If you did not receive a pagerank that you were satisfied with (or you did not receive any pagerank at all), you can put some good effort into gaining more links to your blog. Try commenting more on other blogs, submitting your blog to directories, etc.
Bottom line - Google’s Pagerank may not be very accurate, it may not be fair even! But, like it or not, Google Pagerank serves as a powerful factor for your website.

It looks as the fair value, as shown by the chart, of more of the sites is above what it had received, and this could be because Google looks to undervalue, if anything, when scoring pages.

Your final statement is so true. In the end, whether you like it or not, Google owns a monopoly on this Very important thing, and we as the bloggers are forced to abide by their rules.
Nice list, you put it together very well, and you included many of the blogs I read as well. Good post!

Good analysis, but I’m a little surprised that you put Tyler Cruz’s pr as appropriate. Why don’t you think he deserves a higher pr?
