What Does The PageRank Of Your Website Mean?
PageRank (PR) indicates the popularity of the webpage. How is the popularity of a website calculated? Google’s algorithm gives credit to the links of other web sites which are pointing towards your page. If a small number of pages are pointing to your website and their page rank is high you may be considered more important that a website that has a larger quantity of sites with low PageRank linking to it. The quality of websites linking to your website is more important than the quantity.
Is Page Rank Determined For The Entire Website Or Individual Pages?
Google ranks each page individually. So each page could have a different page- rank. It is likely that your home page has a higher PageRank than other pages as most sites link to home pages. However, if you have a page on your site that is full of value, informative, and highly viewed, it could rank higher than your home page.
