Important Facts About PageRank

This article is simply a pointwise summary of all that is written in this blog or is going to be written.

* PageRank is only one of numerous methods Google uses to determine a page’s relevance or importance.

* PageRank is a floating-point number.

* PageRank of a site keeps on changing frequently, but Google updates the data in the toolbar only about once in 3 months.

* PageRank does not rank web sites as a whole, but is determined for each page individually.

* Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote by page A for page B. Google not only looks at the amount of votes, it also takes into account which page is casting the vote. PageRank of page A is important for page B to get a better PageRank.

* PageRank is largely based on incoming links, but not just on the number of them – relevance and quality are in fact more important.

* If you have a web page with a PR5 and have only one link on it, the site linked to would get a fair amount of PR value. But, if you have 50 links on that page, each individual link would only get a fraction of the value.

* Irrelevant or bad incoming links don't help PR.

* Each inbound link is important to the overall total. Except banned sites, which don’t count.

* Content is not taken into account when PageRank is calculated.

* Each Page Rank level is progressively harder to reach. PageRank is believed to be calculated on a logarithmic scale.

Fact : By linking poorly, it is possible to fail to reach the site's maximum PageRank, but it is not possible to exceed it. Poo

PageRank is all about Google, the most familiar brand in the world wide web.

Other top search engines are Yahoo and Bing, which have small shares of around 3-5%. So if you own a site, you have to rely on Google for traffic, unless you expect direct traffic, which is possible only if your site is so popular that users directly enter your site, or if your site is related to something like a local business which doesn't really need global exposure.
