The Importance Of Page Rank

From a blogging perspective, several factors contribute to a site's success. There's the number of visits or page views, there's also the number of comments, then there the number of friends that one is gained, also the earning that he gets from the blogs. But then there's one factor that many might not know about; those who know it may not even consider it of importance. Ah, but for a few, it makes all the difference.

I'm talking about PageRank, a Google feature that measures the relevancy of one's site. I define PageRank as a calculative measure of a sites' success and many other bloggers and web publishers consider it to be. A higher PageRank means that your blog is being read by many whereas a virtual can be a source of distaste. Let's just say a higher PageRank can a source of arrogance from the geeks.

Google computes one's PageRank  by adding all the inbound links to one's site weighing the importance of every site. If a site with a Google PageRank of 5 links to you, Google considers this more valuable than say a site that has a PageRank of 1. Over time, as you increase your PageRank, Google will find your content relevant and you should rank higher in the search engines. This means more readers for you.

The importance of PageRankcan also is considered in paid reviews. Paid reviews are services that pay bloggers to write articles on their sites. Two of the most famous paid reviews are Pay Per Post and Review Me, but there are others. Because a higher rating means more readers, advertisers pay a lot more money to blogs that are classified as relevant. An example of this is how to help essay in which they pay for integrity and not for pages. For profit-seekers, it can be like money. Say from $ 5 per post to someone with a page rating of 0 to 15 bucks per post, for one whose page rank is 2. Those with a PageRank of 6 can earn up to $ 100 per post, and even more.

The question therefore is, how do you increase your PageRank? While some would pay SEO companies tons of money to list them in directories and get the higher on the search engines, proven ways of improving page ranks is to increase one's inbound links. There are several strategies that you can apply to make this possible - exchange links, participate in forums, submit articles, etc. But to be the best strategy possible is still to make great content. This aside from the fact that it does take time to increase a sites PageRank. As time passes, it's an inevitable complement to your presence on the web.
