google search
 

Hi all

can someone please explain to me google page rank on the tool bar, this is what it tells me when my page is opened, "page rank is googles view on the importance of this page (2/10)" does that mean it is scored 2 out of 10 or does this mean page 2 of 10.

It means score 2/10. Thats the point google gave you for your page rank.

Higher Page Ranks are much harder to get.

For example, a page rank 0 site is what you start with when indexed
If you have a few links or pages on your site you might have a PR 1 or 2 site
If you have several links or if you build your site structure correctly to vote for yourself, you might get to a pR3 or PR4. You can actually get a 3/4 just by linking to yourself from the same domain using keywords.

To get to a PR5, you'll need good internal structure, as well as several authority sites voting for you as well (linking to you)

The higher the PR of the site that links to you, the more it is worth.

100 PR 2 links are not worth as much as 1 PR5 link

Page rank is also measured per page, meaning, if you have a PR 3 page and you have 100 links to other sites and pages, each of them gets a sliver of that PR3, however, if you have only 1 or 2 links, then they get all the "juice" from that PR3 page. So the page you link to gets a much stronger vote if there is only 1 or 2 links instead of 100 links.

If they use a rel="nofollow", a javascript link, and some cgi queries, you do not get any page rank juice. So, make sure it's a straight HTML link without any kind of cloaking, javascript, etc. (if you are getting links to your site).


Also, linking the word is important don't say: "click here", instead say "your keyword phrase" (not really a PR issue, but it ties in ...)

Page rank is also old. This means that the measurement you have today is likely from a measurement taken up to 3 months ago.

Hope this helps.
