My site is a PR 2, it's been up for almost a year (the EE site), is spidered practically 24/7, and is easily found on all the search engines.

It was a PR 5 til Google started re-indexing :rolleyes:

[Phooey]

Try a site like SweetBreeze.info :)Awesome, thanks!

No. PageRank (PR) is simply a measure of all of the links pointing to a page combined with the "value" of those links (the PageRank of the page on which your link is contained, split among all the outgoling links on that page, and whether or not the link is discounted/devalued by Google according to various criteria).

It is not directly related to very much of anything in Google any more:

PageRank Information (http://www.google.com/intl/en/webmasters/4.html#A1)


Google's order of results is automatically determined by more than 100 factors, including our PageRank algorithm. Please check out our Technology Overview (http://www.google.com/intl/en/corporate/tech.html) page for more details. Due to the nature of our business and our interest in protecting the integrity of our search results, this is the only information we make available to the public about our ranking system.

Technology Overview
Google stands alone in its focus on developing the "perfect search engine," defined by co-founder Larry Page as something that, "understands exactly what you mean and gives you back exactly what you want." To that end, Google has persistently pursued innovation and refused to accept the limitations of existing models. As a result, Google developed its own serving infrastructure and breakthrough PageRank™ technology that changed the way searches are conducted.

From the beginning, Google's developers recognized that providing the fastest, most accurate results required a new kind of server setup. Whereas most search engines ran off a handful of large servers that often slowed under peak loads, Google employed linked PCs to quickly find each query's answer. The innovation paid off in faster response times, greater scalability and lower costs. It's an idea that others have since copied, while Google has continued to refine its back-end technology to make it even more efficient.

The software behind Google's search technology conducts a series of simultaneous calculations requiring only a fraction of a second. Traditional search engines rely heavily on how often a word appears on a web page. Google uses PageRank™ to examine the entire link structure of the web and determine which pages are most important. It then conducts hypertext-matching analysis to determine which pages are relevant to the specific search being conducted. By combining overall importance and query-specific relevance, Google is able to put the most relevant and reliable results first.

PageRank Technology: PageRank performs an objective measurement of the importance of web pages by solving an equation of more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Instead of counting direct links, PageRank interprets a link from Page A to Page B as a vote for Page B by Page A. PageRank then assesses a page's importance by the number of votes it receives.

PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. Important pages receive a higher PageRank and appear at the top of the search results. Google's technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page's importance. There is no human involvement or manipulation of results, which is why users have come to trust Google as a source of objective information untainted by paid placement.

Hypertext-Matching Analysis: Google's search engine also analyzes page content. However, instead of simply scanning for page-based text (which can be manipulated by site publishers through meta-tags), Google's technology analyzes the full content of a page and factors in fonts, subdivisions and the precise location of each word. Google also analyzes the content of neighboring web pages to ensure the results returned are the most relevant to a user's query.

you also might want to try and search for a tool that shows what all of the different Google datacenters are returning as far as a PR value (as the toolbar is only updated periodically).

[princess23]

[vijay]

but the way of accessing google toolbar is not flexible with my firefox beta version .Now what i can do to access this?

[Ezhel]

if that so I suggest to make an article and try to do an article submission for you to gain traffic.


It game me the same ranking for both sites, PR 2, and PR 3

[vijay]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[temyong]

Use search status of firefox add-ons or SEO open.

[Vega]

I use SEO Quake to check PR along with a bunch or other metrics. Google toolbar works too. There is a handful of plugins for Firefox that will help you out. As far as PR goes, don't be disappointed in your PR, just keep building backlinks and keep creating content and you should start to see some progress. Another factor is the age of your site. The longer established sites usually have better PR. But I agree that there are sometimes sites that have high PR and it's hard to figure out how.

[princefox3]

you can Google the phrase "pagerank checker" and you'll get a lots of downloadable tools and relevant sites.

[princekay4]
