Title: Google PageRank
Post by: jewelreja on 01-09-2013, 08:09:51
As most of you know, PageRank is an algorithm that shows how reputable a particular page on a web metric that is calculated according to Google. This ranking is not only the quality and quantity of incoming links, but they are different types of outgoing links per page (link on the web page), links and much more space / visibility as the number of parameters depends on the other. We are not displayed in the toolbar PageRank than the real PageRank value must be aware of. Toolbar from 0 to 10 in a logarithmic (or similar) scale used to convert the real value.

PageRank, named after Larry Page (one of Google's founders), is a system used by Google for ranking websites in its search engine results. Primarily, here's how it works:

When a link is created from Site A to Site B, actually Google sees this link as a "vote" by Site A for Site B. But Google does not merely look at the sheer volume of votes, or links a web page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important".

There are certain factors Google takes into account:

The quality of the webpage linking to your website. If the referring page is thematically related to your page, the link carries more weight.
The quantity of incoming links to your page. A higher number means that your page is important.
The outgoing links per page. If a page contains many links, each link has less value.
The visibility of the link on the page. A link in the body text is more valuable than a link in the footer.
It's also important to note that the actual numerical value assigned to a webpage by Google's PageRank algorithm is not publicly known. Previously, this would be communicated on a scale of 0-10 through the Google Toolbar, but this is no longer the case as Google stopped updating PageRank information for the public in 2013.

I can delve a bit deeper into the topic.

Although Google does not publicly disclose the specifics of its algorithms, many different techniques have been proposed for calculating PageRank, and it is understood that Google's algorithm includes multiple variables:

Internal links: These are the links from one page on a domain which lead to another page on the same domain. They're commonly used in main navigation. The structure of internal links can significantly affect PageRank distribution.

External links: These are the links from a page on one domain to a page on a different domain. High-quality external links can improve your website's credibility, and thus the PageRank.

DoFollow links: These are links that allow google (all search engines) to follow them and reach the linked website. By default, all links are dofollow links unless they are modified to be nofollow links.

NoFollow links: NoFollow links are links with a rel="nofollow" HTML tag applied to them. The "nofollow" tag tells the search engines not to take this link into account while calculating the PageRank and relevancy for the keywords.

Anchor text: The actual text of a link to a web page. When you use keywords in this anchor text, it helps the receiving page rank higher in search engines for those keywords.

Traffic: Many experts also believe that Google considers traffic in their algorithm. If a webpage receives a lot of visitors, it is likely that the page provides quality content.

Behavioral metrics: Metrics like bounce rate, time on site, and pages viewed per visit could also influence PageRank. The assumption is that if users are staying longer on a page or website, it must have good quality content.

Indeed, while PageRank is an integral part of Google's algorithm, the actual dynamics of search engine ranking involve far more factors. Here are some additional components widely believed to factor into Google's search algorithms:

Content: The quality and value of the content you provide are significant. Google's algorithms are continually evolving to reward high-quality, unique, and original content. The system values well-researched, in-depth articles that truly add value for users, rather than thin content that simply repeats keywords without offering substance.

Keyword relevance: Accurate keyword usage remains crucial. Google "reads" your website to understand what it's about and how it should be indexed. Properly using keywords in your content, titles, and meta data can help Google understand what queries your page is relevant to. However, overuse of keywords can lead to penalties.

Website performance: Google wants to offer users the best possible experience, so it favors websites that load quickly and work well. Optimizing your website for speed, ensuring it's mobile-friendly, and fixing issues such as broken links can all contribute to better rankings.

User engagement: Google looks at how users interact with your website. Do they bounce off quickly, or do they stay for a substantial period? Do they navigate deeper into the site? These signals can indicate to Google whether users find your site useful and engaging.

Secure and accessible websites: Providing a secure connection through HTTPS rather than HTTP gives your site a rankings boost. Additionally, ensuring your website is accessible to both humans and search engine bots is important. Your site's robots.txt file should guide bots to your critical pages, and a clear site architecture helps human users find what they're looking for more easily.

Domain Age, URL, and Authority: Google considers aspects such as the age of your domain, the URL structure, and the overall authority of your site. An established site with a history of providing good content and earning high-quality backlinks has a better chance of ranking well.

Social signals: While Google has stated that social media is not a direct ranking factor, many SEOs believe there's a strong correlation. Socially popular content often performs well in search rankings, possibly due to the increased visibility and additional links it draws.

Finally, keep in mind that Google's algorithms are updated regularly. SEO is a long-term effort, and what works best can shift over time. Always stay abreast of current best practices, and regularly adjust and refine your SEO strategies accordingly.

Across 25 or so sites, I have seen both up and down. But to be honest, it really doesn't matter. I mean, ranking in the serps is what counts. Lower pr sites out rank higher pr ones in the serps all the time. I think Google should completely get rid of this useless metric.  !-!

Page Rank is a measure of how 'important' a web page is.
It works on the basis that when another website links to your web page, it's like a recommendation or vote for that web page.

This thread was started at 1st September, 2013 and the last page rank update was on 6th December, 2013. But anyways, this thread is 2 years old. We should only reply to recent created threads. I would advise the forum admin to close this thread.

Since Google wants to return page one results  that are high quality relevant, and trustworthy, it may return webpages with better PageRank scores higher up in th eSERPs, although PageRank is only one of many rankinf factors taken into consideration.
Since PageRank is only one factor in the Google ranking algorithm, it's important to remember that a high  PageRank does not guarantee high rankings - but it can significantly help.
