Why does Google PageRank Matter?
It does matter, but it’s complicated…
• Key to Google figuring out which pages are important.
• How does your website do in the Google Popularity
Contest?

Link Quality depends on:
• Content of page – Is the link related, natural?
• PR of linking page (scale of 0-10)
• Keywords in links can help but be careful!
Google PageRank
PageRank reflects the quantity and quality of
incoming links. Links vote for better websites.

In a typical website the homepage
will have the most PR. As you go
deeper into a website the PR
goes down.
