Hello everyone, can anyone please share their thoughts on the following:

1. If your website is ranking (not necessarily on page 1) , does it follow also with the page rank? Page rank should also increase?

2. Or if you have greater number of backlinks, then the page rank should also increase?

Thank you.

    1. Page Rank and SERP's usually have little to do with each other.

    2. Generally yes. If you get backlinks from pages with PR to your page, that helps alot.

    Don't worry about page rank unless you want to sell links.

    1. Page Rank and your SERP position are not correlated at all.

    2. The best way to get a high PR is to get backlinks from sites that have higher PR than your site. For example, I have several PR6 sites and I achieved this mainly by getting a handful or more links from PR7 and PR8 sites directed to the home page of my PR6 sites.

    Pagerank on your page is not directly proportional to your keyword Ranking , or even I don't think its any way related.

    Having lot of backlinks doesn't mean you get a higher pagerank , you need to get backlinks from high PR for this.

    Interesting question:
    1. Not necessary. I have some pages ranked in Google with no page rank. Actually most of them ranked well with no page rank.

    2. If a page has more back links, it will sure have some decent PR if it's from different domains. Number of root linking Domains

    PageRank depends on links from other websites that indicate popularity. PageRank is a non-keyword specific Google indicator of authority. Just like a democratic election, the ones with the most popularity receive authority. The success of a webpage competing for a keyword will depend mainly on the authority of the webpage PageRank combined with the website authority best indicated by the HomePage PageRank. Positioning will also be determined on relevance which depends on the keywords used on the page and in the underlying coding and also the linking (anchor) text.

    The best way to accumulate PageRank is to encourage links from other website by building great content link-bait. It is more than acceptable to make positive comments on blogs and forums. Google is becoming increasingly skilled, however, at differentiating between social chit chat and automated valueless non contributory link building.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards

    David

    Different day, same old sheep.

    Page rank and serp position is not unrelated! Let's think for a second, say facebook put the word "potatoes" on their home page (without any "potatoes" related backlinks) are you saying it won't rank any higher than a pr N/A website?
