But most important of all these is it's search engine which share approximately 60% of all searches made all over the world.This explains the importance of rank SERP (Search Engine Results Page) fo Google.The higher the ranking on SERP the more free visitors you will get from Google.
While displaying the results for a particular query Google takes into consideration a lot of factors.
Two most impotant factors being (source - Google's Corporate Information) -
- PageRank Technology
- Hypertext-Matching Analysis.
What is Google PageRank?
According to Google - PageRank is Google's view of importance of a webpage. Pagerank is given out of 10.
Thus a webpage with a higher pagerank will be more important in view of Google as compared to the one with lower pagerank. Hence, a webpage with a better pagerank will get higher position in the SERP.
e.g. A webpage with Google PageRank of 5/10 will be more important and hence placed higher in Google SERP than the webpage with Google PageRank of 3/10.
How does Google determines a pagerank for any webpage ?
Lets see what Google says -
Let's examine the following figure for some better understanding -
In the above figure A,B,C,D,E and F are different webpages. Here you can see that page C has got a higher pagerank than page E, even though it have fewer links as compared to page E. It's because of the importance of the page from which page C is receiving a link and also the number of outbound links from that page. In the above case as you can see page B has got most importance and is having only one outbound link to page C, so up to 90% of its PageRank is carried to page C.
In the essence, a page with higher baklinks from quality pages (those with higher pagerank) will have a better pagerank.
Thus, improving your Google PageRank helps you by getting you more visitors through search engines and ultimately can result into better revenue from your website/blog.
