Pagerank by search engines

PageRank is the measure of the importance of a page based on the incoming links from other pages.  Every page has its own page rank. Most important page rank should be the home page or the product page. Any page can be optimized to get better ranking in search engine.

Pagerank value starts from 0 up to 10. Google tool bar is available to view the page rank value and is free to download.

In simple terms, each link to a page on your site from another site adds to your site's PageRank. Not all links are equal: Search Engine works hard to improve the user experience by identifying spam links and other practices that negatively impact search results. If your site link is placed on some important site this will add rank to your website. Important sites are measured usually on basis of .gov, .edu, .pk, .cn or .uk. These URLs are authentic and search engine always consider such sites as important sites. Placing your link on such website will boost the ranking of your page instantly. Moreover such sites which capture huge number of hits are also referred as important sites.

The best types of links are those that are given based on the quality of your content. In order for your site to rank well in search results pages, it's important to make sure that search engine can crawl and index your site correctly.Your site should be search engine friendly.

Important to note that pagerank and search engine result page SERP ranking has no relationship neither similar in phenomenon.

  1. It is a well known fact that Google updates their toolbar PageRank scores only sporadically. Therefore the PageRank score you are seeing is only what Google thought of that page some time in the past. A grey PageRank toolbar indicates the Web page has either been banned or not yet crawled and indexed by Google.

    High PageRank does not necessarily mean high rankings. It depends more on the keyword being used in the search. But, if all else is equal, the page with the highest PageRank is likely to win the ranking wars.

    And, yes, your goal should be to get links from important pages and PageRank remains your best indicator of Web site 'importance' from Google's point of view.
