Time and time again you get people enquiring about Google PR. I personally cannot see why so many people are striving towards a higher PR. A higher PR does not mean that you will feature higher on SERPs for a given search criteria. Google PR only updates about 4 times a year anyway. if you optimise for a specific keyword set you will find much quicker results and if researched properly you will achieve a higher conversion rate.It is not hard to go and buy links and improve your PR, anybody can do that. Does this then mean that you are increasing sales and revenue? Highly doubtful!My advice would be to set about your optimisation / IM strategy with intent to improve SE rankings for specific keyword sets. PR will follow in time! And when it does you are safe in the knowledge that you have accomplished the task using legitimate techniques.Please feel free to educate in this area.

Page Rank is an self-governing measure of Google’s awareness of the quality/authority/credibility of an individual web page.

PageRank (PR) was Google’s original secret weapon, a scale that would rank websites based on incoming links and where those links came from. Although its relevance has arguably faded a bit over the years as Google has added more and more criteria to site rankings, it still goes hand in hand with SEO and every webmaster out there wants to have a high PR.

1. Social Media – According to most online authorities, as your social media traffic increases, you’ll receive more links coming into your site improving your rankings.

2. Creating good on-site content – You want unique content so people will find it and link to it.

3. Clean code – Friendly search engine website code including meta tags, URL structures, etc. can have a big impact on your traffic.

4. SEO – While SEO is no longer a quick game without putting in the time and effort, so one needs to be patient. Build quality links instead of going for quantity and give them time to kick in.

5. Long Tail – If you want to get millions of visitors to your website you can’t just focus on ranking for a few keywords, you have to rank for thousands if not millions. Build links to your internal pages and you’ll notice that your overall site will get a higher authority and rank better across the board.

Google PageRank, which is largely based upon the number and quality of backlinks a webpage has, is an important factor in how well a particular webpage ranks within the Google search results. Since webmasters can spend much of their time worrying about PageRank, an important question is: how important is PageRank, really?

PageRank Only One Piece of a Larger Puzzle

Many webmasters will tell you from experience that other factors besides PageRank, such as keyword density and placement, have taken a larger role in website ranking. No one will argue that PageRank has become irrelevant, but there is significant evidence to suggest that PageRank is not quite as important of a factor in website ranking as it once was.
