I don't care much about Page Rank, but it is strange how it works. I built a new page on one of my sites (not a blog) yesterday. Today it is PR 1. Can someone explain how this could happen?

    No. Google is the ultimate enigma. If ever anyone can figure out how Google decisions can be analyzed from a perspective of sanity, please advise me. I would like to join the discussion and become enlightened.

    Google has an algorithm to figure out the pagerank of a site. Typically if you have links pointing to your site from higher ranked pages then you have a better chance of getting a pagerank (or a page rank update). You can google "page rank algorithm" and get the details. Its actually a mathematical equation used by Google's servers. Kinda complex but interesting. But in essence you will need either:

    1. A lot of backlinks from low ranked sites
    OR
    2. A few links from highly ranked sites

    One easy way to get backlinks is to submit articles to free article directories with your link embedded in the article. Hope this helps. I have been doing some of these stuff religiously and my blog is now PR 4. You can verify at

      so closely but it does not totally mean that when a higher pagerank website would be pointing to your site that automatically means that you get a share of it, sometimes the contents of the site would be checked first before it happens to have the share of rank.

    colighto: that's right. preferably it should be of the same topic.
    For example:
    gadget blog -> gadget blog
    healthcare -> healthcare

    etc.

    Page Rank does not mean that blog is worthless if they have Pr 0, it's only a sysytem develop by co-founder google Larry Page, that's why it's called "Page Rank" taken from his name, I have a friend his PR 0 but the visitors is 1000 per day and makes 3000K/month, so no corelation, well that's my opinion
    1. colighto
      I agree with that. we don't relay the usefulness of our post to one person or even only for a group of people located at one company alone.

    one of my blog has 500k traffic but got pr0. previously i got pr3.

    google is king and unpredictable

      I have PR3 with traffic of about 200 hits a day...doesn't make much sense if you ask me.

    anyone know what is the fastest way to buid a higher page rank?
    1. colighto
      well everyone is very eager to do that but there is really no easy or fastest way in doing that you really have to work hard to achieve it. Some are even trying to pay for advertising their sites to do that, but it does not seem to be effective the only effective way is that you work hard to create useful post in your site to catch peoples' interest.

      Better to build a better Alexa rank and build traffic don't concentrate on PR - all it is, is a little green bar!

    @klwheretogo you must do blog comments on blog/site with do follow on PR3 and above.

    do links exchange and you ll get yor page rank 3 in no time

    These points are good, but they don't explain why you got ranked at PR1 in just one day - that is very strange - the only think that I can think of is that Goggle bots were checking your site just at the time the page was posted and it got ranked right away! Tis a strange one though.
