What is Google Pagerank?
Google Pagerank is the technology implemented by Google to rank a website according to its quality. A website can be rank into 1-10. 10 as the highest. Pagerank are being updated “quarterly”. Note I quoted quarterly because almost every 3 months Google updating its datacenter. But it really depends on Google when will be the next update of the Google PageRank.
What is the importance of Google Pagerank?
A website with higher Pagerank gets crawled fast than other websites with lower PR. Also if have a live link from a website with higher PR your site will get crawled as well by Googlebots. This is one of the reason why an SEO prefered exchanging links with sites with higher PR.
Is Google Pagerank important in SERP?
Although Google PageRank is not directly related to SERPs but there are some instances that a websites with higher PageRank are ranking high in SERPs. The reason for this is if you have high PR websites then more probably similar niche websites will offer link exchange with your site because as I’ve said websites with higher PR are being crawled fast than other website with lower PR. It’s not directly related but still Google Pagerank affect the SERP I must say. But its just one instances why this happens.
How Pagerank are being determined by Google?
Its simple as this. If you have few backlinks from PR8 websites then most probably your website will have a PR7 or PR6. So if you have a PR5 backlinks then in the next toolbar update your site will receive PR4 or PR3.
How to get higher PageRank?
If you can put a link from few websites with similar niche and high PageRank then you will get you’re desired PageRank. You can either do these through link exchange or link buying. But beware of link buying because if your link is put on pages that are determined link farm then for sure Google will disregard the vote from that site and you won’t get any PageRank boost on your site. So be wise in buying link and exchanging links as well.
