An Explanation Of Google PR
It is no secret that in order to get your website ranked highly in the results pages of search engines like Google, you need to have links pointing at your site, and lots of them. But some links are worth more than others. You can be ranked above a site that has 20,000 links with 3000 if yours are of a better quality.
There are many things that affect how much a given link is worth but the main one that holds the most weight is the Page Rank or PR that Google has assigned the page you’re receiving the link from.
Every page that Google can see will receive a Page Rank (PR) from 0-10, 0 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. This will not happen immediately because PR is only reviewed once every 6 months or so. Achieving a PR of 10 is almost impossible unless you have a very large, very popular corporate website, like apple.com, but even that is only a PR 9. Some pages have a PR of n/a and this can mean several things, one that the page is younger than 6 months and Google hasn’t ranked it yet, or because its an unimportant page deep in a site, or because Google has detected something it doesn’t like on that site and blacklisted it.
So what is there to gain from a good PR? Well, if your site receives a link from a high PR site like a PR 7 or 8, then it will massively more beneficial than a link from a PR 1 or 2 site. In essence, what PR is, is how valuable and genuine Google considers the content of your page to be on a scale of 0-10. Each link counts as a vote for the integrity of the page it is linking to, and so if a PR 8 page votes for you then Google concludes that your page must be of high value, because a high value site says it is, and it will therefore push you further up the results rankings.
PR is sometimes misunderstood by webmasters in that they believe that if they have a higher PR, they will rank better in the search engines. This is not true, but a high PR will give you a MUCH better basis for climbing the rankings. Once you start accumulating some reasonably good PR, you will find that lots of people want to get links from you. This will allow you to ask for higher quality links back as the link you will be giving them will be of a high quality.
The catch 22 of the whole PR game is that in order to get good PR, the main thing you need, is high quality links, but until you have a high PR page yourself, other high PR sites will be unwilling to link to you, and so that’s where you have to apply a bit of knowledge.
A good method to start off with is to find some sites that are in the same position as yourself (with related themes to yours if possible, but I wouldn’t worry too much about that) i.e. they are looking to build some PR by getting lots of links, and exchange links with these sites. Then (provided these sites have kept their efforts up) in 6 months to a years time, these sites will have some PR, and will still be linking to you, therefore you will have some PR by then, making these initial link exchanges mutually beneficial.
Links are not the only thing that count when building PR, something else that we know counts towards it is how often the content is updated. Content that is updated on a regular basis hold far more weight with Google than content that is left the same.
This is because the content will appear to have gone stale after a while; after all, news wouldn’t be news if it was old! Google likes to be able to give its searchers the most up to date and relevant information it can, and so sites that are regularly updated will be given preference.
