Do I Really Need a High Google Page Rank?

In order to get the perfect picture about Google’s page rank, let’s imagine this that Google’s system is operated democratically. Consider the blue links as votes; of course some of the votes are rated higher in Google’s system than others. Having this in mind, consider Google’s page rank as a system that counts votes on regular basis and gives high importance to those votes that are already of high value in Google’s search results. The more qualitative links coming to your site, the greater the chance of Google noticing you and rewarding you with a high page rank. Now the question that may arise in your mind is,

What will be the effect of Google’s page rank on my business?

Obviously if you have a high Google Page Rank, it means that you have many links pointing directly at your website. This means more incoming traffic, which will mean more sales for your business. Page rank is actually one of the important factors that Google uses in determining the relevance of your website content. It’s obvious that you will give a lot of importance to page rank but believe me, this is not where website ranking ends. Google’s page rank is merely a tool used to assess how many times a web site page has been linked to other websites.

Is a high Google page rank really important?

Although having a Google Page rank is nice, it is not the be all and end all of websites; Page ranking does not consider the age of your website, neither does it gives any importance to how successful it really is. It equally gives less importance to the content of the website. I’ve seen many websites that are on the first page of Google that have a Page Rank of 1 or even zero. In spite of all these things, it is good to have a high page ranking in Google’s eyes because a website or a blog having low page ranking will remain unnoticed in the midst of high page ranking websites.

What is the relationship between SEO and Google page rank?

Here are some important factors that page rank does not take into account with regards of your SEO.

• High page ranking does not means that you have attained higher search ranking for your website.
• If you have recently listed your website in a directory, it does not mean that you will immediately enhance your page rank.
• Updating your website frequently will not enhance your Page Rank immediately.
• The authoritative and qualitative links have an effect on your website Page Rank.
• Relevant incoming and outgoing links have an effect on your website Page Rank.

In conclusion, it is important to view page rank as one of the hundred important factors of increasing your search optimization. It’s important to have quality links and back links to and in your website rather than a high Google Page Rank.
