  • What is PageRank?

    PageRank is a link analysis algorithm which assigns a numerical weight to each website URL. The PageRank is a simple ‘score’ from 0 to 10 with 10 considered the most important ranking.

    Google has confirmed many times that PageRank does indeed have a bearing on the Search Engine Result Page (SERP) position of a website and it’s pages.

    Is PageRank an important part of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)?

    The basic purpose of PageRank is to list website and pages from the most trusted to the least important. The basic process involves evaluating all of the links to a particular web page. If a web page has a lot of links from large websites that also rank well, then the original web page is given a suitable ranking.

    Where the links originate from is just as important as the number of links to any particular web page.

    However PageRank doesn’t hold the SEO key. PR gives websites owners a good ‘barometer’ on which to measure their website’s authority but the Google algorithms are far more complex than just the PR score itself.

      The January PR update slipped to Feb for 2012 and typically we’ve seen a decline in updates over the years down for 4-5 a years to 3-4. The decline is indicative of Google trying to remove too much emphasis on webmasters chasing the PR numbers and focusing more on keeping content relevant and up-to-date. It’s all prediction of course!
