In the beginning of my blogging career, I was curious about the same question that, What are ranking systems? , Who gives these ranks ? , What are their criteria ?, and How it can help me to improve ?

The answer which I came to know was very simple. There is flood of millions of websites all over the web, The website ranking is given simply to judge the websites popularity or quality content.

Google Pagerank -

Google pagerank is one of the most affecting factor to decide your status in the web. This ranking is done from one to ten scale. This raking system takes thousands of points into consideration for ranking, but most deciding factor is inbound links or backlinks. Backlinks are considered of more weight if they are from same topic web site which are called as natural linking. Even if you have PR1, you are a good blogger. This Google PR helps google to classify the pages according to their weightage.

PR is not only done by google. Every search engine have its own PR’s and their own deciding factors but on the web, having google PR is considered more than any other search engine in the world.
