Page Rank in SEO

March 20th, 2009

Lots of people are obsessed with the Page Rank of their websites, but Page Rank is not really that important anymore even if it used to be of great value in the past.

At first Page Rank was supposed to show the popularity of web pages based on the number of links pointing to them and the quality of those links, scaled from one to ten this method was useful to find the quality of a site or web page and  their links juice. But today Page Rank has become inaccurate and most of the time out of date by a month or more, done in purpose to confuse people trying to decipher the Google system or just left behind by Google engineers, who knows really but only Google itself!, in either case the result is the same misleading effect on the people that base their online presence only on it .

Page Rank no longer important, it is advised for the reader to not fall obsessed on getting higher Page Ranks, disregard Page Rank and concentrate instead on the promotion of your sites.
