PageRank Changing

PageRank Changing

Probably Google's best-known page ranking factor (but not a hugely important one) is what's called PageRank (if you want the technical explanation go here). Web Masters are in dispute about the importance of PageRank, with many pundits saying it doesn't matter at all, with others saying it is a very important compoenent of a site's ranking.

The truth lay somewhere in the middle I imagine, although I always say it's far better to have a link from a site with a high PageRank than a site with a low PageRank.

Google Assessing PageRank Now

If you see your PageRank changing now (it can fluctuate quite a lot from hour to hour) don't worry about it. Google is currently readjusting their PageRankings right now.

Our PageRank has increased from 5 to 6 which is great for us.

How Do We Know That?

How do we know that? Easy - see the green bar (I've drawn a red circle around it) in the image below. That's our PageRank - it's on a thing called the Google Toolbar.



If you want to be able to see what your PageRank is, as well as be able to search from every page of your browser, then download the Google Toolbar here.

Regards

Brendon
