going to explain to you what Google Page Rank is and how you can analyse your website\u2019s status in the eyes of the big G.\u00a0 There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding this subject and it\u2019s hard to get confused so hopefully this article will help you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Google Page Rank?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google Page Rank is an algorithm that rates a webpage depending on a multitude of factors.\u00a0 No-one really knows what factors are involved in determining a page rank but it is widely believed that backlinks play a huge role.\u00a0 However, not every backlink is given the same weight and hence a PR5 link is given much more value than a PR1.\u00a0 Whilst many people believe that a website has a specific PR this is not entirely true, as Google Page Rank focuses on individual pages rather than the website as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Important is Google Page Rank?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google Page Rank is one of the factors that determine where a webpage appears in the search engines.\u00a0 It is not the only factor as things such as keywords, content and the age of your site are the main determining factors here.\u00a0 However what we can assume is that if two sites are equal in the standard of content and the keywords, the site that is higher on the search engine results will be the page with the higher PR.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Can I Check My Page Rank?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We at Pingler have a tool that enables you to check the page rank of your webpages quickly and easily\u2026 and best of all it\u2019s free.\u00a0 The Page Rank Checker tool can be used by <a href=\"http:\/\/pingler.com\/seo-tools\/pagerank-checker\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">clicking here<\/a> or by visiting the <a href=\"http:\/\/pingler.com\/seo-tools\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">tools<\/a> section of our website.\u00a0 Using the tool is easy \u2013 all you need to do is enter the URL, click continue and voila.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Can I Increase My Page Rank?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you start a new website your website will automatically be given a PR0.\u00a0 This is the lowest Page Rank value with the highest being 10.\u00a0 Although each webpage is given a separate page ranking, your website as a whole will also have a page rank which will be an average of all the individual pages.\u00a0 So in order to increase your page rank on your website as a whole you will need to work on building back links to every individual page on your site.<\/p>\n<p>Google updates page ranks every few months so whilst it may seem like you are waiting around for ages without seeing any results, you will do in the end.\u00a0 The best thing to do to ensure your page rank increases is to focus on getting links to your site from high quality sites in a similar niche to you.\u00a0 Whilst focusing on good link building strategies, it\u2019s also a good idea to keep away from anything that would harm your website.\u00a0 This can include anything from automated link exchanges to linking to link farms \u2013 both are bad ideas and can decrease your Page Rank.<\/p>\n<p>Each Page Rank level gets progressively harder to reach however if you put the effort into backlinking you are sure to see results in time.<\/p>\n<p><i><html><br \/>\n\t<head><br \/>\n\t\t<title><\/title><br \/>\n\t<\/head><br \/>\n\t<body><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
