What is PageRank?
PageRank is essentially a voting system on the web, determining a page’s importance. Each link to a page signifies a vote of support. Without a link, there’s no support, akin to abstaining from voting rather than opposing.
How is PageRank Used?
PageRank is a tool used by Google to assess a page's relevance or importance. Although it’s just a part of the overall Google ranking system, it’s intriguing enough to warrant its own exploration.
When you install the Google toolbar from [here](http://toolbar.google.com/), PageRank becomes visible on your browser, ranging from 0 to 10, and possibly following a logarithmic scale:
Toolbar PageRank Scale:
- 0: Real Page Rank of 0 - 10
- 1: Real Page Rank of 100 - 1,000
- 2: Real Page Rank of 1,000 - 10,000
- 3: Real Page Rank of 10,000 - 100,000
- 4: Progresses similarly...
The exact scale remains uncertain as it adjusts monthly when Google performs re-indexing. Hypothetically, Google assigns the highest-ranked page a score of 10 and scales the rest accordingly, but this is largely based on anecdotal evidence.
Sometimes, the toolbar estimates PageRank, particularly for newly uploaded pages not yet indexed. It evaluates the page’s URL, subtracting ranks progressively up the URL’s structure until it finds a rank or grays out if no PageRank is detected.
When the toolbar predicts like this, the Actual PageRank is initially zero. However, it will be recalculated once Google crawls the page. PageRank doesn’t influence the content, size, language, or anchor text of a link.
Important Definitions:
- PR: Short for PageRank. This is the true rank Google assigns to each page, potentially ranging from 0.15 to billions.
- Toolbar PR: The PageRank visible on your browser's Google toolbar, ranging from 0 to 10.
- Backlink: A link from one page (A) to another (B). Page B receives a "backlink" from page A.
