Are SERP and PR the same?

Hi guys
I want to know about SERP and PR, are they similar?

 

Nope!

SERP means the overal performance of your website on a search engine like google for a specific keyword. It is recognized in the terms of the present position of your website on the search engine.
If your site is shown on the Google's 2nd page & 3 position of the result page then it means that your SERP is 13. As search results page shows 10 Results per page.

Whereas the PR i.e. Page Rank is the individual rank that your website holds on the google search engine. It can be from 0-10.
PR depicts the popularity of your site on the search engine. The more your PR the more popular will be your site.

Hope this answer satisfies your query!

 

Not 100% true, PR has not much to do with Google rankings. I've seen PR2 sites above pr6 sites on the same search.

 

add:it's the PR of the sites that are linking to your domain that affects your ranking.

 

PR is supposed to be the level of importance that Google puts on your page. Not for a specific keyword. Im pretty sure it has more to do with the number of mostly relevant (high pr a plus) backlinks your site has than anything else although Im sure all the other stuff comes into play. SERPs is basically where you find your site when you google keywords or phrases. Just because you have a lot of backlinks and Google notices with PR does not mean it thinks your page is important or relevant for a particular keyword you may want to rank for. Thats where the work comes in.

 

I agree with this. Where PR is more relevancy between your content and off page optimization. SERP is your website ranking in search engine.

Pagerank and SERP Position

 

Well Pr is the ranking given to particular sites and SERP is the position in various search engines

 

A search engine results page (SERP), is the listing of web pages returned by a search engine in response to a keyword query.
PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page,[1] used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set.

 

No. SERPs are how high you are in a search engine for a particular keyword; but PR is google algorithm which takes different aspects of your site and using the data assigns a number form 0-10. Such types of data include site age, speed, link structure, amount and quality of inbound/outbound links, HTML validation. etc

 

No. Page Rank is Google's way of deciding a page's importance. It is a numeric value that represents how important a page is on the web. whereas A search engine results page, or SERP, is the listing of web pages returned by a search engine in response to a keyword query.

 

It's not the same. It's difference

 

They are different. SERP = search engine results page. PR = Pagerank.

 

Well put, that is exactly how I would answer that question as well.

 

No they both are different.
SERP is search engine ranking pages and pR is page rank.SERP is the achieved position in various search engines and The page rank is the marking for a particular website out of 10; probably marked by google.

 

SERPs: Search Engine Result Pages. When a query is searched in Google, the page appears with websites is called SERPS

Google PR: PR is a rank allotted by Google to web pages after evaluating specific factors of a web page. It usually involves backlinks and internal linking structure.

Hope this helps.

 

I'd love to have my site get high PR from Google... advertising!!!!

 

Still debating about this topic, read this article Google Corporate Technology and it will explain everything. To summarize it, there are two ways for a web page to make it at the top of search results or SERP, PageRank (PR) and hypertext matching ananlysis (use of keywords).

- from GOOGLE

Google computes this and provides the most relevant results to internet users. So even a web page with PR 0 will rank at the top beating Web pages with high PR if the content of the page is the most relevant in search results.

 

Of course, not the same. PR would only relate to the importance of your sites in Google's eyes but SERP would directly determine the traffics for your sites though they do share some same factors like backlink quality, quantity and on page optimization issue like on page contents.

Thanks,

 

wow thank you guys for the replies.
here is my summary from all your replies of SERP and PR.
PR or Page Rank is overall performance from web page.
