Fore some readers it is still not clear what PageRank(PR) is but it is too important not to explain it because that is something you will need for your blog and your success.
PageRank™ is a system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University in Stanford, California.

Simply, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But it is not only about a simple link or vote. Google also analyzes the page where the link comes from. That means what is the PR and the content from the source page. So high-quality websites receive a higher PageRank, which is remembered by Google each time you conduct a search. And if you still want to learn more about PR and its mechanisms you can read it here.

And how does a higher PR take effect on your blog? Every business, organisation or blogger running a website wants to be number one in any search query, right?

You type into Google the keyword “make money”. Immediately, there will be millions of web pages found. Now, out of the millions of pages, lets just say 500 of them will have good content and be equally well-designed. How will the search engine rank them then? They turn to link popularity, which has a direct influence on PageRank. The more incoming links from related sites that you have, the higher your PageRank which in turn increases your ranking on the search engine. However, you have to remember that your website must have good content and be well-optimized in order to receive this privilege. So lets work on that!
