Hello friends, The google page rank is one of the most discussed topics in the SEO world. The PR of a page is a measure of the importance of a page. How does google calculate PR ? PR of a page is very much dependent on the number of pages referring to that page. Exactly the same way humans also rank other humans. One person is a great person if more people knows him. A page with reference from 10000 pages is a good page, similarly a person who is known to 10000 people is also a small celebrity. The PR of a page is also affected by the PR of the pages that links to it. A reference from a higher PR page is very much more valuable than a lower PR page. Likewise a If a person is know to the Indian Prime minister, he definitely must be a celebrity or a politician or someone very important. Keywords on higher PR pages are very likely to get search listings. We can see search listings as analogues to opinions. Opinions from higher PR pages are more important. Same is the case with humans also. The opinion of a person with lot of fans is very powerful. Politicians and movie stars become opinion formers like this. The bottom like is that you can learn to become famous by observing the SEO world and finding the real world equivalent of it. Soon Ill come up with some ideas. If you happen to have some ideas regarding this, please comment.
I think PR is way overrated unless you have a directory. Then its everything because everyone else places such a high value on it.
