Page Rank: How It Pertains To SEO

How page rank fits into the Search engine optimization picture.

When optimizing a site to show in the search engines something called page rank comes into play. Page Rank is a way that Google measures the importance of a website. The Googlebot will visit pages with higher page rank more often. This allows for quicker indexing and updating of pages cached by Google. It comes into play when building up link popularity.

The higher the page rank the more valuable the link.

When getting inbound links to your site, it is good to check the page rank for the site linking to you, as well as that of the page the link is from. All links are valuable, but a link that comes from a website that has a page rank will help you build your page rank.

I have listed just a few web directories that are high quality will be a valuable inbound link for a site listed in them. Each has a small submission fee but their value by far exceeds the submission fee.
