I was wondering if the PageRank is the only factor that affects the order of the sites in google search .. I thought at first that it's the only factor but while I was searching on a specific keyword i found that the leading site wasn't the site with the highest PR !!!
Nah!! Back link is one of the major factor of all the other SEO factors that google decides to rank a page in SERPs. It's not the only one thing you should be bothering about. You ought to optimize your page (on page optimization) as well for a specific keyword to make sure that you rank well for that keyword.
Firstly, Google do not finds results only on basis of backlinks. PR shows the importance of page. Google search results as mixer of backlinks, domain age, relevancy and in latest tweets. There might be other more factors but i know is the above ones. So don't concentrate much on PR.
Don't forget toolbar PR is simply a measure o the weight of all the links to the website. It doesn't give any impression of how relevant those links are or if they contain the keywords in the anchor text. I wouldn't worry too mch about toolbar PR.
PageRank is not the only factor that affects the order of the sites in google search. It depends on trust,credibility and relevance of the website.There are different measures that are used for monitoring the websites Thanks
not only the PR effects the order of sites in serp but also depend on the keyword you are targetting. thanks
Google looks at a lot of stuffs not just PR. so rather concentrate on all the know thing such as keyword ranking, backlinks and more SEO.
