Google’s Page Rank
Google judges each site based on a scale from 1 to 10. This is called Google Page Rank often abbreviated to PR.
Whats a good PR?
Its hard to say whats a good or bad page rank it depends on many factors like the age of the site, quality of content, amount of pages and sites linking back your site. On average for a well established site anything from a PR 2 or above is considered a good PR.
I have a PR 0 does this mean I have a bad site?
No a Page Rank 0 doesn’t mean you have a poor site at all. If the site is new you will have to be patient as the Page Rank update comes around quarterly, so you may have to wait for months before your PR changes. If your site is on an old domain and you have a PR 0 it could be due to a number of reasons, either your site hasn’t got relevant content on it or hasn’t got any other sites linking back to it. Having good Search Engine Optimisation practices implemented into your site can help build a PR.
PR the be all and end all?
One of the biggest mistakes you can make when browsing the web is too judge sites based up on their PR. Just because Google PR doesn’t rate the site high doesn’t mean it doesn’t offer a quality service or information relative to what you are searching for.
How do I find out my PR?
There are many sites that offer a Page Rank checker tool, however you can download the Google toolbar for here, which offer a integrated PR Checker.
