What is PageRank?

Just make a simple explaination, PageRank or “PR” is a numeric value (0-10 the higher the better) that represents how important a page is on the web which was based on Google’s way of calculation. How to determine the important of your website? The linking of your website or page to another page which determines how important the vote itself is. Google calculates a page’s importance from the votes cast for it. How important each vote is is taken into account when a page’s PageRank is calculated. It matters because it is one of the factors that determines a page’s ranking in the search results. It isn’t the only factor that Google uses to rank pages, but it is an important one. From here on in, we’ll occasionally refer to PageRank as “PR”. Sounds like very easy right? But, you have to be caution that not all links are counted by Google. For instance, if the links can harm the site or the site has PRO, this will cause a site to be penalized by Google. 

PageRank calculated by outbound link and inbound link

To calculate the PageRank for a page, all of its inbound links are taken into account. These are links from within the site and links from outside the site.

Inbound LinkLinks pointing to a website. When a user arrives at a website from another site, that link is called an Inbound Link.

Outbound LinkA link that points away from your website..

The Formula:

PR(A) = (1-d) + d(PR(t1)/C(t1) + … + PR(tn)/C(tn))

That’s the equation that calculates a page’s PageRank. It’s the original one that was published when PageRank was being developed, and it is probable that Google uses a variation of it but they aren’t telling us what it is. It doesn’t matter though, as this equation is good enough.

In the equation ‘t1 – tn’ are pages linking to page A, ‘C’ is the number of outbound links that a page has and ‘d’ is a damping factor, usually set to 0.85.

We can think of it in a simpler way:-

a page’s PageRank = 0.15 + 0.85 * (a “share” of the PageRank of every page that links to it)

“share” = the linking page’s PageRank divided by the number of outbound links on the page.

———————————————————————————————–

From this, we could conclude that a link from a page with PR4 and PR5 outbound links is worth more than a link from a page with PR8 and 100 outbound links. The PageRank of a page that links to yours is important but the number of links on that page is also important. The more links there are on a page, the less PageRank value your page will receive from it.
