What is PageRank and why does it matter?

Page rank is important because it's one of the factors a search engine such as Google takes into account when it decides which results to show at the top of its search engine listings where they can be easily seen.

PageRank is an algorithm designed by Google to help assess the authority of a Web page and website overall (1). One of several quality metrics Google uses to determine the authority of a website, PageRank assigns a score between 0 and 10 to a website to determine its relative value to users.

Page rank is important because it's one of the factors a search engine like Google takes into account when it decides which results to show at the top of its search engine listings – where they can be easily seen. (In fact, PageRank is a Google trademark – but other search engines use similar techniques.)

Google PageRank evaluates and scores your page’s external and internal links, and is one of Google’s oldest and well-known ranking algorithms. The PageRank algorithm is a link analysis program that evaluates the links on (and backlinks to) a page as a part of Google’s search ranking factors. The goal of PageRank’s evaluations is to push not only the most relevant but the most authoritative pages on a given subject to the top of the search engine results pages (SERPs). PageRank is not the same as your SERP rank; rather the PageRank algorithm influences your SERP position via ranking factors.
