what is Pagerank ?
Example Websites
International sites:
- CNN (http://www.cnn.com), PageRank 9
- Yahoo US (http://www.yahoo.com), PageRank 10
- ESPN (http://www.espn.com), PageRank 8
- Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) , PageRank 8
New Zealand Websites:
- NZ Yahoo (http://nz.yahoo.com), PageRank 4
- NZ Herald (http://www.nzherald.co.nz), PageRank 8
- TV3 Website (http://www.tv3.co.nz), PageRank 6
As you can see, popular news Websites always get good PR, because a lot of other Websites link to them.
It is very easy to see PR of each page. Just to go Google’s Website (http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/FT3/intl/en/index.html) and download the Google toolbar, install it, and then it will show you the Page Ranking of sites while you browse them.
Also the quality is more important than quantity, which means a PR4 website link to your website is better then 100 PR0 Websites linking to yours. If a high PR Website links to your Website, Google will treat it as a “high ranking Website voting for/recommending your website”, therefore you will gain trust from Google, which will result in an increase in your PageRanking. A visual example of this is shown below:

To make your Website search engine optimized, PR is not the only thing you need to look after, but it is one very important part. Note that Google is not always updating your PageRanking, so you will not see instant results even you have a lot of Websites linking to you. Normally Google will update the Page Ranking across all sites every 2-3 months.
