How Important is GooglePage Rank?
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 | Filed under Ask an Expert, SEO.Google uses a method known as PageRank to quantify the “importance” of a web page. PageRank is determined by an algorithm which assigns a numerical weight between 1 and 10 (10 being the highest) to measure the website’s relative importance.
By taking into account factors including quality and quantity of incoming links, Google’s PageRank leverages a probability distribution to determine the likelihood of a visitor landing on a page, and assigns a score accordingly.
However, PageRank is just one of the methods Google uses to determine a page’s relevance or importance.
To help your website achieve a higher ranking within the Google Search Engine Results Page (SERP), align with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) best practices:
- Implement relative, optimized website copy
- Build a consistent stream of quality inbound links
- Ensure your website is technically friendly for search engines to crawl and index content
