What is PageRank? PageRank
is a numeric value given by Google that represents how important a page is on
the web. The value is from 1-10. Basically, this number is figured out by the
number of links that point to your page.
However, not all inbound links are created equal. Pages with more credibility that link to your
webpage have more value than those with less.
So how is this credibility measured?
By their PageRank, of course. It
is far more beneficial to your page to have a few links from pages whose
PageRank is high than to have numerous links from sites that have a low
PageRank. The PageRank value can be
divided in the following categories:
0-3: New pages or
pages with few links.
4-5: Popular sites
with a good amount of inbound links.
6: Very popular
sites.
7-10: Usually media
sites or big companies.
So how do you measure your sites PageRank? You can download Google’s toolbar which will

inbound links preferably from sites with a high PageRank.
