Link for determining “pagerank”

Google determines page rank (scored 1-10) through a number of factors including the age of your website, number of backlinks to your site, the quality or relevance of those sites linking to yours, and also the actual page rank of those sites linking to yours.

Quality backlinks could include links from reputable article directories or sites, forums, and blogs related to your site. Reputable directories, such as a directory of chiropractors pointing to a specific chiropractic site, are also of high quality. “Spammy” backlinks from unrelated sites and link farms can actually hurt your page ranking.

Remember, you can’t change the age of your site however you can increase the number of quality backlinks to it. Even the most popular sites promoting products nationally or worldwide in certain industries have a page ranking of only 5 (pr5) so I would recommend comparing your pagerank against your competitors for a more realistic representation.

My experience shows me that local businesses competing against only other local businesses really shouldn’t worry about page rank scores much at all. However, whether you’re a local, regional, national, or worldwide business, the pagerank tool can also be quite valuable in checking the pagerank of sites you are seeking backlinks from.
