Google PageRank
What Is It and How do I Get a Higher Ranking?
Page
rank is the number assigned to your site or any site
listed on the Google search engine. Google looks at
all the sites linking to your site and tallies those
links as votes for your site, thus creating your page
rank.
But
don't just think you can get links from wherever,
because the quality of the links do matter. Google
analyzes the page that is linking to you. It looks
at the credibility of the site that links to you in
the same way that you would analyze another person
creditability in real life. If the site that links
to you is a site that is known to be discredible,
then the pages link isn't worth much.
On
the other hand, if a site is highly credible and links
to your site, it will help to make your page more
"important". Getting linked to by sites
that are deemed "important" by Google will
raise your page rank.
Important
sites that link to you will not always increase your
page rank either though. Google combines the page
rank of a site with secret text matching techniques
to make sure that pages that link to you are relevant
to your site. For example: if your site has to do
with Internet marketing and you link to a highly ranking
site about dog training, it won't do much to raise
your page rank, and it might actually hurt your page
rank.
Google
states that it looks far beyond just that. Google
says that they look at all aspects of a pages content
and the content of the pages linking to them to see
if any given page is a good match.
So
what's the bottom line. When trying to increase your
page rank take into consideration the quality of the
pages that you link to and that link to you. You don't
have to be super strict - analyzing every detail of
a potential link, just take it into consideration.
