Pagerank... What Exactly Is Pagerank Article
This short article offers valuable information about Pagerank. And there are many more like this, giving even more valuable content about PageRank and Link Popularity.
The most popular search engine of the moment is Google. Google became first due to its complex text matching algorithm and the Pagerank system that it uses. In this article we’ll try to better understand what PageRank is. As the name suggests, Pagerank is a ranking system of pages. How does it works? Simple. If a website web1.com gets a link from a website web2.com, web1.com must have some good content and therefore Google will count the link from web2.com as a "vote" for web1.com. You can check your link popularity by downloading the Google toolbar from http://toolbar.google.com The Pagerank scale goes from 1 to 10 on the Google.A less important site is of course a site with a PR of 1 and a very very important site is a site with a PR of 7 or 8 in the directory or toolbar respectively. Google does not simply count the number of incoming links a page has. Google stated that they also analyze the page that cast the vote and votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weight more heavily and help to make other pages “important”. I’m sure you begin to get the idea that you you need to have your page linked to by as many high quality and high pageranked sites as possible. Another important aspect of Google Pagerank is that this system also takes in consideration the number of links the page that has linked to you has. The reasoning for this is that a page X has a certain amount of voting PR, if your site Y is the only link from that page X, then Google feels confident that page X thinks your page Y is the best link it has, and will give you more PR. If however page X has 50 links, page X could think your only the 50th best page. So the more links it has the less of a PR boost your site gets. Linking to a site with a 6+ PR will provide a significant boost to your PR in most cases, but in cases where the site also links with 100 other sites the boost will be almost zero. Likewise if a site has a PR of just 2 but you and only one other site are linked from it, then the PR boost would be more than the site with 100 links and a PR of 6. Just remember that the name of the game is to get as many links from pages with high PR and few other links. The more of these links you get the more your PR will grow and the more your rankings will improve for your relevant keywords. Have your main keywords and phrases in your TITLE tag and well spread throughout your page. Get as many links from as many high PR low number of outbound links pages you can. Get listed in DMOZ.ORG, Yahoo and Looksmart. Well that's it. I hope you have enjoyed this Google PageRank article, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I also hope that you can put this advice into use and help get yourself some real traffic. |
