Google - climbing up the rankings

So what is PageRank?

There are many factors which contibute to how well you rank in Google’s search results… your PageRank plays an important one. PageRank is Google’s way of measuring the value or importance of a webpage. It is based on a scale of 1 - 10 starting at 1 (low in importance) and increasing exponentially in importance to 10 (high importance). When one website links to another, it is essentially casting a vote for this website saying “I’m going to link to this website because I think it has quality content”. Google’s automated spiders pick this up and base the importance of a web page on these inbound links. The more quality inbound links a website has, the more important a website looks to Google. To see the PageRank of websites in your browser I recommend the Google Toolbar.
