10 Myths About Google Page Rank

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by tankard, Jun 25, 2008.

    Hi,

    I've been carrying out some experiments and watching the cyber-space for some time. So I decided to sum up what I had found by compiling myths about Google Page Rank.

    Basically, it is an observation on Page Rank but maybe somebody can use it for their benefit.

    I would love to see your comments. :)
    Cheers!

    Great post! I only disagree with point 8

    Backlinks are part of algo that effect SERPs. PR is a result of backlinks. Visual indicator. It has nothing to do with algo.

    Sam 735, vickyseo, Aryans - thank you for the compliments and reps.

    Thank you, mightyb. Technically you are right - the PR numerical value of a page is not considered by the algo. I'll review my wording ;)

    Oh, are there? Mind being more specific or you're just guesstimating?

    Hey,
    I guess it is you blog?
    I have posted a comment pointing out 4 mistakes. I could have told about a few more, but I think 4 mistakes are enough.

    guesstimating? I just posted almost 300 words!

    Blimey, that's the longest comment I've ever seen (apart from pill ads)! Thank you for your time. I have answered with some considerations.

    Excellent article. Pagerank still has importance. You need to be careful though about having too many outbound dofollow links from a page - make the outbound links relevant.

    I agree with mightyb.

    From: http://www.google.com/corporate/tech.html
    In other words: The only PageRank that matters is the PageRank of the page linking to you. It is all build up as a voting system, and your pagerank reflects how many votes you got (and the quality of the votes), but it doesn't affect your ranking.

    You can easily gain a high PageRank with links from not-related sites, but it will only have a smaller affect on your ranking.

    my bolding. what twaddle. where did you get these "other words" exactly?

    where does it say "the only pagerank that matters..." ? ..thats like saying it doesnt matter how much electricity flows through you when you touch the live wire, only what voltage the wire is at.
