Google Pagerank
Google PageRank is a link analysis algorithm used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyper linked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web. The main purpose is to measure its relative importance within the set.
Google pagerank is important but as Google employee Susan Moskwa confirmed that the company had removed PageRank from its Webmaster Tools section. Her post said in part, “We’ve been telling people for a long time that they shouldn’t focus on Google PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it’s the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true.”
So it is important, but not so much. In other words, if your web page is fully SEO optimized, then the second thing you need to consider is to get pagerank as high as possible.
If you have two similar web pages, not with same content but very similar content, and let’s say they both optimized with the same keywords (for example; computer online support). If we put that in Google web search, webpage with higher Google PageRank will be ranked first.
Google Pagerank algorithm
Google’s algorithm is very sophisticated, but if we try to simplify it then it will looks something like this:
Search Ranking = Relevance * PageRank
Relevance is the measure of how your website or even better; some of your web pages on your site matches the search phrase which end user entered in search engine. How some web page is more or less relevant it depends how much is SEO optimized. You can check your web site using our Check website tool in SEO tools menu. In short words it means how frequent searched words in phrase appearing on your page, how good is optimized title, meta tags, h1 tag on this page for such words.
In other hand, Google PageRank is an independent measure of Google’s perception of the quality, authority, credibility of an individual web page. It does not depend on any particular search phrase. Google pagerank reports quality of webpage in number range from 0 to 10, where 10 is the best possible ranking.
If they are two competitors webpage with the same relevance of keywords, then better ranking webpage on search engine will be website with better Google pagerank.
Your relevance is based on your webpage content which can you fix and arrange with our SEO tools “Check website”, but how to get better Google Pagerank? How Google Pagerank is calculated?
It is primarily determined by how many other websites actually are linking to your website. But not every link to your website is good. The website with higher Google Pagerank brings more credibility and higher pagerank to your site. For example, if you find some website with Google Pagerank of 4, it will brings you some good pagerank credibility. But if you find such 20 websites which will add backlink to your website, it will brings you even more credibility. Anyway, for sure it is better way to find one webpage with 6 or even 7 pagerank to put backlink to your website, that searching and seeking for 100 website with pagerank 3 or 4.
Pagerank scale
Pagerank is calculated on a logarithmic scale. This means that difference between pagerank 5 and pagerank 6 is about 7-10 times bigger than difference between pagerank 4 and pagerank 5.
Anyway, if you somehow get pagerank of 6, you’re likely well into the top of 0.1% of all websites on the whole world.
Pagerank legend:
0 … 3: very new sites or sites with small amount of inbound links
4 … 5: popular sites with a fair amount of inbound links
6 … 7: very popular sites that have hundreds of links, many of them quality inbound links
7 … 10: usually media brands, very big and popular media websites
