1 Website Designer - Site creation, search engine optimization and link buildingAll search engines value incoming links to a site and use this as one of their key determinants in how highly a site appears in their search results. Google's version of this is called 'PageRank', PageRank (PR) is an exponential scale from 0 to 10, meaning that more links are required to meet each rank after the 1st. Different links give different 'boost' to your PageRank (for instance links from Directories either don't count or count less than links from normal websites), so there's no simple formula to calculate it, but depending on the links, it's something like: PR1 - 1-5 links Wikipedia.org and google.co.uk are both PR8, Google.com and only a handful of other sites are PR10. Broadly speaking, the higher your PageRank, the higher you will appear in the search results. If your site has a Page Rank of 3 or higher, that is normally sufficient for it to appear well for a range of relevant search results - provided that your site is optimized for search engines in other ways and is not in a highly competitive category (such as website design itself). If it is, a Page Rank of 4 or more may be required. To find out what the Page Rank of any website is, please type in the domain name below and press Check. You'll need to include the www. This references several different online checking programmes and some may show 'Datacenter Down'. If this happens, don't worry, it's not a reflection on your site and just be patient and your result will be displayed in due course.
