Hi Friends,

Google page rank has not been updated since last 8 months. It is not going to get updated till early 2014.
Domain Authority is the number you should be looking at.
It is a factor of citation and trust flow.
For me, I could get domain authority 40, with some hard work. It is getting difficult to move ahead of 40 now.

Google PR and domain authority are totally different things. Google PR has not been updated around 10 months. By the way PR 2 is too good. If your domain authority is 21, you can improve it by creating good links, updating website regularly with unique and informative content. For increasing PR do quality linking in niche and wait for the next Google update.

Emedia is correct. Both are different. As page Rank is updated on 6 DEC 2013, it is clear that Page Rank still worth in estimating a website is quality or not.  I think the combination of good PR and DA is best to build backlink network for your website.

Domain authority and page rank both are important. Infect Google Page rank and domain authority both are different thing. Google PR update yearly or around 10 months while domain authority change as you increase your website good relevant back links.

Google page rank is a measure of site's popularity on a scale of 0-10, it basically depends upon nofollow and dofollow backlinks. Domain Authority metric by Moz is a bit like PageRank in the sense that it is a domain-level rank. But it is more concerned with how a website will perform in search results. It is measured on a scale of 100, and is updated frequently - once or twice every month.

Page Rank and Domain Authority are both metrics used to measure the authority and strength of a website, but they are determined by different algorithms.

Page Rank (PR) is a metric created by Google, that assigns a score between 0 and 10 to a website, based on the number and quality of links pointing to it. It is a measure of the importance of a page, based on the number and quality of links pointing to it.

Domain Authority (DA) is a metric created by Moz, that assigns a score between 0 and 100 to a website, based on various factors such as the number and quality of links pointing to it, the age of the domain, and the content on the site. DA is a measure of the strength of a website's domain in terms of search engine ranking.

Both Page Rank and Domain Authority are important to consider when trying to improve a website's search engine ranking, and both can be used to compare the relative strength of different websites. However, Page Rank is not publicly available and is only used by Google to determine search engine rankings, while Domain Authority is publicly available and can be used by anyone to determine the relative strength of different websites.

In general, Domain Authority tends to be considered more important, as it is a publicly available metric and is used by many SEO experts to determine the relative strength of a website. However, both Page Rank and Domain Authority should be considered together when trying to improve a website's search engine ranking.

Page Authority, which measures individual pages, is closely related to Domain Authority. PageRank only applies to the entire site. PageRank is calculated by Google, whereas DA is calculated by a third party. PageRank does not have a direct impact on your SERP ranking, however, DA may be utilized to quantify that relationship.

Both of them are pretty similar when compared but the only difference between them is that domain authority shows the predictive ranking strength of a domain or subdomains; it can predict where a website or web page will rank in the search results.
