Measure Google PageRank for your Blog - Why?

Why is Google PageRank important for a Blogger?

Google PageRank is a very important measure of your Blog success and traffic, but first we must explain what and how Google PageRank works and then explain why is it important for a Blogger.

PageRank is a way for Google to assign importance to a web site or a Blog, this importance or value is calculated by Google through complicated algorithms based on the quantity, quality, relevancy and popularity of the links leading to this specific website.

The quality of the link means that the external site pointing at yours must be an important one with content relevant to yours, So by these votes and links, Google assign value and relative importance of your site and gives you a page rank.

Here is an example of my Art Blog pageRank, my page rank passed from PR0 to PR3 in just 3 months, because I interacted with my community, got relevant links, quality reactions pointing at my Blog.

So why is it important to try to rank high in Google PageRank, and why is it important to follow up on your PageRank every now and then?

Simply because the more you rank high in Google PR, the more Google will love you and give you a better position in SERP’s (Search Engine Results Pages).

Steps to improve your Google PageRank:

1- Increase the amount of backlinks of relevant websites pointing at yours (but don’t use link farms!!!)

2- Use relevant keyphrases and keywords, see my post on adding meta tags in a Blogger template.
