What is page rank?

[SiberForum]

Page Rank is an algorithm used by Google as link analysis. It signifies weighing the value of backlinks of a website/page.

Yeah, it assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the aim of "measuring" its relative importance within the set.

The page rank goes from a scale of 0 through to 10. Most new sites start off at 0 and can stay there unless the operator takes some steps to better it.
