What is Google PageRank?
Google PageRank is Google’s measure of the relative importance of a Web page on the Internet. The numbers rank from 0 to 10. The higher the number, the stronger the PageRank. A higher PageRank number will help better scores in the SERPS (search engine results pages), which will bring in more visitors to a web page.
Use the Page Rank checker tool to check the Google PageRank, Alexa Rank of your web site or web page, and whether the url is listed in DMOZ directory:
Google PageRank FAQs
Is the PageRank (PR) number for the entire site?
PageRank is determined for each individual Web page, as every page on your website has a different PR. The site home page is likely to have the highest PR as it will have the most sites linking to it.
How is PageRank determined?
PageRank is calculated based on both the quantity and PageRank quality of your incoming links. The higher the PR of your incoming links, and the fewer outbound links there are on a page, the more PR is passed to your Web page.
How does a page move higher from one PageRank level to the next?
PageRank is represented numerically from a low of PR0 to a rarely achieved high of PR10. PageRank is not a series of equal steps. It is logarithmic in its calculation. It takes one step to move from a PR0 to a PR1, it may takes a few more steps to PR3, it may takes even more steps to PR4, and many more steps again to PR5, and so one. Each level is progressively harder to reach.
Does increasing the content change the Google PageRank?
Adding fresh content doesn’t provide a direct impact on Google PageRank. The transfer is entirely dependent upon inbound links to the page. On the other hand, providing interesting, informative and theme relevant content will attract many natural one way links to that page. A fresh infusion of PageRank arrives with each link.
