Page Rank?

[siva_aarya]

As I understand it, Page Rank is a numerical value for a site based on how "valuable" it is on the 'net, i.e. the more links you have coming to your site, the higher the Page Rank. A higher Page Rank then leads to a better position on a Google search, moving you closer to the very first listing.

My observation is that it doesn't matter. With my site, my Page Rank is 4 but a search on Google puts me at #10. So why is my site listed so prominently on Google yet my Page Rank is so low?


Thank you

Depends on the keyword search. I know a few sites that have PRs of 2-4 and come up #1 in good for fairly generic terms.

Its one thing to come up #1 for the term 'Ford Motorcycle Compass", its another thing to come up #1 with "Ford".

exactly PR and result position is two different thing

Exam:
make a blog on wordpress(or anywhere else).And be careful to choose some tag for you post(the reason is since your blog is new,while you put a tag such as hosting music php or anything else,wordpress will show you blog on the new post on that tag.And help search engines to index you)
and put strange sentence look like "yoursr abhiy 76jg8o" in your site
after a 2 or 3 week search that phrase.Google or yahoo will show your blog on top result while your page rank is still 0

i hope your realize the diffrent bewtwen PR and resolt positton
but for some keywords which is so popular such as "hosting" , "webdesign" or ...... the search engines first try to show the pages with higher PR ,if higher one is available.

and having high PR doesn't mean that you will be on top result
some other factor such as keyword density or having keyword in tags,topic,url have more backlink is important all together

If you need to be on top for "hosting"
-You need too much back link from sites which they are about hosting
-You need enough "hosting"in your text,topic ,tags ,url(not too much)
-You need many users visit your site
-You need many more that i can not teach you

And consider that they result from different Google or yahoo Data center can be different
and the result is search engines became smarter and know they can realize that they online shop which sell flower in Toronto is good for people who search flower shop from Toronto and flower shop from Tehran is good for people who search flower from Tehran and they make different between users by their IP

Absolutely the key words are important role in searching.some unique keyword - website always will come first because they don't have competitors even the site doest have page rank will come first because of no competitors

PR and SERP(ranking for your keywords) are totally two different things;
you may have good PR but you may not rank top for your keywords because your keywords may have high competition and you may not have worked hard SEO for optimized them to your site.

Having a high Pr is just a showoff which rarely helps you for getting traffic but you can impress your visitors if you have high PR.

page rank is the first indication of how many quality backlinks you have . and it really matters when you have to find advertisors for your website

Google weighs in the linking page, number of incoming links, authority of incoming links and combines them with on page issues like, age of site, page rank, keyword prominence, and many factors which no one is sure ....

I hope you know that PR is being counted constantly. And we see only toolbar PR which updates every 3-4 months
