My Google Page Rank

January 23rd, 2007 by Kenric

Thanks to Jon at Art of Money who informed my that my Google Page Rank is at PR4.  I launched my new URL in mid-November so this was probably the first time its PR was updated with Google.

Google Page Rank is a way that Google ranks the importance of a site and its relevance to the term that you are searching for.  Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search.

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important.”

What does this mean?  Well for me, it’s really just one of those rewarding results.  Back in October when I first started reading all those SEO books, I first learned about the existence of Google PageRank.  Of course, once I learned about it, I had to know more. Then I implemented what I learned in the books and it worked!

Here is a post by John Chow which includes a program where you can enter URLs and see their page ranks.
