PageRank…

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Oh dear small business owners who love to Google SEO topics and email me questions… I applaud your efforts….

I received and email asking me about page rank, and I will make it short and simple… Page rank is an indicator from Google on how authoritative they believe a given page is. That is it.

It doesn’t guarantee you higher ranks on search engine results (although it definitely doe not hurt!) You can see your page rank by downloading the googletool bar and going to each page on your site. You will see that no page will have a rnak higher than the home page, and that is because of the distribution of your link juice over to your subsequent pages. So PR is not for a site but it is for a page. You should know your PR - but do not need to loose sleep over it. Concentrate in getting relevant links to your pages, and make sure your pages have fresh, unique, relevant content, and you will be just fine…
