Google has Page Rank and Bing has its Page Score.

So just what is Page Score all about? According to Bing’s Webmaster Center Help the Page Score:

Provides a measurement of how authoritative Bing views your webpage to be, with five green boxes being the highest rating and five empty boxes being the lowest. This is based on many of the same factors Bing uses to determine static rank, but isn’t directly comparable.

Just in case the static rank part adds to the confusion static rank is defined by Bing as:

A query-independent ranking of a webpage by a search engine. The static rank of a webpage provides a general indicator to the overall quality of the webpage.

So basically the Page Score, like the Page Rank, is something useful to keep an eye on but not something you should obsess about because in the end it is still your site’s actual rank in SERPs that matter more. As Brett Yount, Program Manager of Bing Webmaster Center, said, “Note that this [page] score is only relevant to your site and does not track well in our index.”

To know your page site’s page score just sign up at Bing’s Webmaster Center, add your site, and check out the site’s status on Summary Tool. Other things you’ll be able to see using the summary tool would be the last time your site was crawled, the site’s domain score, indexed pages, blocked pages, etc.
