Page Rank by Felipe Lalli |
A few years ago, Google introduced a new SEO concept
called Page Rank or Pagerank. Basically, page
rank gives Google another means of evaluating sites besides simply
content.
By evaluating each webpage on a scale
of 1-10, Google is able to easily prioritize which sites to display
in
search
results.
Among pages with similar or equivelant content, higher Page Ranked
pages appear closer to the top in Google's search results.
Page Rank is calculated via a recursive algorithm
that initially starts all of the pages in a web site at equal
value. In each
iteration of the algorithm, rank is distributed from one
page to another
based
on what links the pages have. A page's rank 'flows' from one
page to the next via links. The more links to a certain page within
your site,
the more likely that page will tend to 'pool' or 'collect' the
rank from the other pages.

This guy has done a really great job explaining this deceivingly
simple algorithm.
You can also visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank for
the wikipedia take on the subject.
This tool is no longer working :(

By using one of the three forms above, you are
able to:
- Determine what the page rank is for the pages of your website
- Determine your competitors pagerank
- Find the pagerank of the people who link to you
- See the page ranks of the top results from a search query
- or simply get the pagerank info for specific pages.
Once the results of your query are displayed,
you are able to click on the results and browse the pages if you
want. Also, with a single click, you are able to determine
how those pages got their page rank by seeing what pages
link to them. To do this, click on the "See page ranks
of pages linking here" link in the search results.
As a quick warning, if you issue a query asking
for 50+ results, it will take about 5 seconds to generate the results...
mabye a little more depending on the conditions. Just give it time,
it'll work.
