Page Ranking

[Possum11]

Hi

I have a Google Ranking of 2 out of 10. Is there a more refined Ranking system out there. For example a ranking from 1 to 1000.

Cheers Possum

Are you asking whether PageRank, as used by Google internally, is actually more precise than a 1 to 10 scale, and if so, can you find out what your precise PageRank is? Answers are yes, then no.

I assume you are trying to get your PageRank higher and want to know if you are making any progress at all?

[Possum11]

Yes I am improving my site.. But it hard to see any changes between 1 to 10

cheers Possum..

What does PageRank mean to your visitors? Yeah, that's right, it's meaningless ;-) Don't worry about PR, worry about good unique content.

Having quality content will attract visitors and will get them back to visit ur site frequently.
So try and opt for having content updated frequently so that whenever they visit ur site. there wud be something new to acknowledge.

this will result as a boost to ur PR!

That's it!

Is there some misunderstanding here? PageRank doesn't have anything to do with the quality or freshness of your site's content. It's simply an indicator of how many other sites have links to your site/page, with more weight given to links by other sites that themselves have a lot of inbound links. It's one of the ways Google measures whether your page is "important", not whether it has good content. (Although, you can hope that you will get more inbound links if you have good content.)

Google uses PageRank as one factor when it decides where your page will appear in natural search results. The better your PR, the higher the page will (probably) get in the results. So, you really DO want to have good PageRank. Your great content may bring people back when they've already found your site, but a great PageRank will lead to more people finding your site in the first place.

You can increase your PageRank by finding ways to get other sites to have links to you. Good content is one method, but only one.
