OK, the headline speaks for itself . I have a new blog, and I am wondering when I will get to a pagerank 1? Is it possible to go up several ranks in one go, as in from zero to 3, or whatever? And most importantly of all, does it matter?

    Pagerank is just an indicator of how your site is doing. Concentrate on getting good rankings for your targeted keywords and it won't matter what your site's PR is!

    Cheers,

      PR is determined by how the links you have coming into your site. If you have links on pages with PR than (if they are not nofollowed) they will pass some of that PR to your page. It has very little significance in rankings as it is only one of over 200 factors google considers in rankings. I find PR to be more helpful when it comes to depth of crawl on a site more so than ranking boosts.

      So if as you say it is "an indicator of how a site is doing" wouldn't that mean that it does in fact matter what your site PR is? I agree that PR does not matter all that much, but you are sending a mixed signal by explaining it that way.

    When Google does a PR update you will get your score and yes it is possible to jump many PR points in one update. I went from PR N/A to a PR 4 on a few sites. PR updates occur every couple of months.

    But I will have to agree with Josip, that PR is not that big of a deal in general.

      Thanks for your info. As a newbie I really appreciate it. I am a journalist, so I have no problems generating content for my blog, but I am very weak on the internet marketing stuff - that's why I am here!

      And Josip, we're practically neighbors! I'm in Serbia.

        As a follow-up, is PR determined only by backlinks?

        I should have said: one of the indicators.

        Also, your site could have PR 4 which would mean an overall very good optimization, but may get little to no traffic because it doesn't target the right keywords or isn't optimized well for the intended keywords.

        In any case, my suggestion would be to let PR come as a byproduct of your efforts to rank your site well for your targeted keywords, not make PR the goal.

    Google updates its page rank on average every 2 - 4 months. For new sites, look to go to PR 1, then maybe, rarely you might jump to 3. But if your a new site, it might go from 0, 2, 3, 0, 1, 3 - every 3 months or so.

    I had a site less then 1 year old, and was PR 3. On a google PR update, all of the backlinks were lost and the site was reset back to PR 0.

    Yes, page rank is important, but so are a lot of other factors.

    Yes - its a measure of the number of links, and the quality of the linking sites.

    Page is sometime that happens occassionally thou a lot of people say page rank are been updated frequently but only get to show on the toolbar on some specific time which is usually in three months.

    Yes, your blog can jump from 0 to 2 page rank but that depends largely on the quality of links linking to your blog. Moving from 0 to 2 page rank is more easier than moving from PR2 to PR3 and higher.

      PR is a indicator of many things not just backinks, but backlinks is the number 1 factor. Without PR people wouldnt know exactly how there website is performing in google or how google will determine a sites ranking in there search engine.

      If you want a high PR in a sort period of time you need links from sites that have high PR and less outbound links or backlinks to other sites they vote for. With less out boundlinks to other sites this will decrease the random surfer effect (That google implements within there algo) meaning that your websites link on there site will have a higher posibility of a click through - either because of the nature of the anchor text or its the only outbound link on the page(Usaually a banner link to your site).
