Page rank is an algorithm that is used by Google to assign a numerical
weighting to a particular webpage, website or a blog. It is plays an
important role in search engine ranking of any blog or website. Although
its effect on search engine ranking has significantly decreasing with evolution of SEO , but it is still an important factor.
Page Rank indicates the importance of a particular webpage on internet. Higher page rank
means a webpage is popular, on the other hand lower page rank means
less popular webpage. Hyperlinks pointing to a webpage is counted as an
vote of support. It means that a webpage with large number of hyper
links pointed to it has better page rank, but it also depends on the
page rank on webpage that is giving hyper link to your article. For
example : Suppose there are 2 webpage named A, and B. Page A is getting 3
back-links from 8 PR webpages where as page B is getting 6 back-links,
but from 2 PR webpages. As we can see page A is getting vote from more
popular sources its page rank will be higher than that of page B.
