First, Google provides the public with outdated PageRank data, followed by a way to measure web pages by PageRank ignoring a number of important factors to consider. At the same time, the author explores the reasons why PageRank is so concerned and provides readers with some other good ways to identify the real value of a Web page.
PageRank has become a pain in the heart of some people. Some websites have paid a lot of effort to improve PageRank, but PageRank has not been improving. In fact, there are two reasons why people are so concerned about PageRank:
1. Improve the PageRank value of the Web page, so as to improve the success rate of reciprocal link exchange;
2. Improve the PageRank value of the page, and then sell the text link ads on this high PR page to make money.
These two reasons are based on the belief that PR is a specific Web page of the potential or overall SEO value of the best way to evaluate. In the identification of a Web page in search engine results ranked value, PR prestigious, and always be regarded as one of the most important tool. Many webmasters like to use their PR value as a reference when they identify the link value of a particular page, in fact, there is a more accurate way to evaluate link value.
