| According to Wikipedia, PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page[1] and used by the Google Internet search engine, that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. |

What is PageRank?
PageRank is a numeric value from 0 to 10, used to show how important a page is on the web. Google figures that when one page links to another page, it is casting a vote for the other page. So, if a page has good links or votes from well ranked pages, it will be of some importance too, and will be ranked well by search engines, accordingly. The quality of the back link or vote for a given page is very important.
Google describes PageRank:[4]
[PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results. PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. We have always taken a pragmatic approach to help improve search quality and create useful products, and our technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page's importance.]
What is the Importance of Page Rank or PR?
PageRank is Google's method of deciding a web page's importance. Page Rank is one of the factors that determines a page's ranking in the search results. So the better page rank your web page has, the more chances to be selected in better rankings in search results. The result is more web traffic for your web page from Google Search Engine.
