What is Pagerank?
PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry
Page, used by the Google that assigns a numerical weighting to each WebPages in
site, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance of
page. In simple words, PageRank is what Google uses to determine the importance
of a web page. It's one of many factors used to determine which pages appear in
search results.
A hyperlink to a page counts as a vote of support. The Page
Rank of a page is defined recursively and depends on the number and Page Rank
metric of all pages that link to it ("incoming links"). A page that
is linked to by many pages with high PageRank receives a high rank itself. If
there are no links to a web page there is no support for that page.

Pagerank Explainednk (PR) is
Google's method of calculating a web page's relevance and importance through
the quality of sites linking to it. The precise details of the algorithm are
kept secret and Google continues to "enhance" its performance. It is
seen as an important indicator as to the popularity of a site and thus its
value to potential advertisers. To prevent manipulation, spoofing and
Spamdexing, Google provides no specific details about how other factors
influence PageRank.

PageRank
Pagerank(PR) relies
on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure
as an indicator of an individual page’s value.
Google interprets a
link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks
at considerably more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives;
for example, it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages
that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages
important. Using these and other factors, Google provides its views on pages’
relative importance.

Algorithm
Pagerank is a
probability distribution used to represent the likelihood that a person
randomly clicking on links will arrive at any particular page. The Rank of
Pages computations require several passes, called "iterations",
through the collection to adjust approximate Page Rank values to more closely
reflect the theoretical true value.
Google assigns a
numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet; this PageRank
denotes a site’s importance in the eyes of Google. The Page Rank of a
particular page is roughly based upon the quantity of inbound links as well as
the PageRank of the pages providing the links.
History
Pagerank was
developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford. The first
paper about the project, describing PageRank and the initial prototype of the
Google search engine, was published in 1998 shortly after, Page and Brin
founded Google Inc., the company behind the Google search engine. While just
one of many factors which determine the ranking of Google search results, Page
Rankings continues to provide the basis for all of Google web search tools.
How
Important Is Page Rank?
It is one of many
factors that determines where your web page appears in search result ranking,
but if all other factors are equal, PageRank can have significant impact on
your Google rankings.
Useful tips
A Google robot visit
your site frequently so continue to modify your code and keep checking its rank
and status. Eventually, your site will drive up the ranks and land on top. Keep
your META tags, title, keywords and content in line with your keywords and
continuously look to optimize them.
How to check Rank of
pages?
Remember, Page rank
is measured on a scale of one to ten and assigned to individual pages within a
website, not the entire website. To find the Rank of a page, use Google Toolbar.
