The Importance of PageRank
Everybody till now might be knowing about Page Rank but still for newbies don’t know about it let me tell you what it is and how it affects the blogging experience..
PageRank is basically a conceptual method of using the way websites Link together to deduce their relative importance. For example, many people might link to the BBC News website, that means it is a relatively important site while Joe Bloggs’ homepage might only be linked to by a few close friends and family, which again reflects its relative importance.
The Question Might be can we increase PageRank? The answer would be Yes,it’s possible.Having more people linking to your website will certainly result in the increase of your site’s PageRank but it will only increase its importance not its relevance.
Many bloggers buy text link with Websites with higher PR (6, 7, 8), and those websites often make money by selling links to sites with lower PR. As Google states, if they are aware that sites are selling PR instead of just advertising space both the buyer and seller may be penalized. The penalty may take the form of a lower position in SERPs and/or a downgrade of PR. Thus, we recommend that you do not buy links simply for a higher PR.
Now the question might have arisen that how google calculates the PR?The answer to this is stated below..
The original formula Google used to measure the PR of a page is
PR(A) = (1-d) + d(PR(t1)/C(t1) + … + PR(tn)/C(tn))
Though no one is not sure whether Google still uses this formula, it is probable that the new Google PR formula is very similar. In this formula:
PR(A) is the PageRank of the page you are trying to measure
- d is a damping factor considered to be about 0.85
- tn is the PR of the n th incoming link page
- C is the number of outgoing links from each page that has a link to you
As you can see, the more links from higher PR pages the better; fewer the outgoing links from the sending page, better the results on the receiving page. Theoretically, an exclusive link from a PR4 page is better than a PR7 link that has 50 links to other pages.

I am still looking for PageRank and I have to wait again a lot since i have changed the domain name due to which all the hard work done by me in making useful backlinks have no value now…
Finally, just remember what my freind said that the Internet is NOT all about PageRank!

My blog used to have PR1, but now it’s 0. I don’t know what happened – it’s a well trafficked blog, got backlinks, too… and it DIDN’T have any paid ads in it. I am so disappointed.

Excellent posting! I knew what pagerank was but never understood the technical details. You have explained it so well that even a layman like me can understand it so well.

Hey “Jenn” as you said you have many backlinks but still no PR the problem might be that the quality of backlinks might not be good that means the backlinks pointing towards your blog might not be much reputed or any such problem…
and Thanks for the compliment “Ivs”

I’m experienced with PR. I ever reach PR1 but it’s dropped again. The strange things is, my PR not become PR0 but “Pagerank Information Not Available”. What is mean?

Internet is not all about pagerank, but we’re need adaption because in the fact, pagerank is the main indicator even i know high PR is not mean high quality website. Well, about the formula, is it true and still relevant with current condition? I’m sure there will be a lot of change.
