Google PageRank - Fact and Knowledge

What You Need and Don't Need to Know

You can have a perfect website powered by number one theme builder, hosted in an exclusive hosting company worth thousands of dollars a year. Inside, you may offer high quality content and useful downloads people cannot live without. But after months online, you feel that you've paid too much for your auto responder service because you can do your follow up email by yourself since you can still hand count your e-mail subscriber.

When building a brick and mortar store, location becomes the most considered aspect. A good location makes people see your store thus make a visit and finally purchase something. While in the world of internet based business, a good location is determined from your search engine position ranks. If you're out of top 30, your business doesn't exist because not so much chance people will see your link.

One of the factors having big impact on Google's SERP (Search Engine Position Ranks) is its PageRank. Since Google is dominating the search engine universe and most people use it as their entrance to the internet, its algorithm has become an obsession for most people tuning up their site to get the highest PageRank possible and being on SERP's top-ten.

Sitting on search engine's first page means thousands of visits everyday and receiving heavy traffic even if the site is ran from Timbuktu. Let's assume you ran a business, which sells movie posters. An LOTR freak googles "Gandalf poster" and shown a million results. If your address shows up on the 500,000^th, what's the possibility that this freak is a persistent diehard fan that will skim over to reach half of the result pages? Most likely, he'll stop looking on the fifth page. First page maybe when he already find what he's looking for. If you depend on the internet for your stream of customers and your SERP is not getting better for years, maybe you should stick with conventional stores.

So, what is PageRank?
