Google Page Rank (PR) - Get More Green
The Google Toolbar is a free utility that attaches to your browser that adds features that optimize the web browsing experience. It is available for Firefox and for Internet Explorer. One of the features that it adds is PageRank. PageRank is one of many key aspects that makeup search engine placement. It acts as a link analysis algorithm that assigns a numerical weight (0-10) to a webpage based on the quantity and importance of websites that point to it.
Ideally, in order to maximize your PageRank, you want a great deal of backlinks on sites that have high PageRanks. Adobe’s Website has the maximum PageRank of 10 because of the vast amount of reputable websites that link to it for downloads.

It is important to avoid putting too much emphasis on PageRank. It is only a piece of search engine optimization. Just because you have a PageRank of 8 doesn’t mean you will appear higher than a PageRank of 6 on search engine results. Spending too much time attempting to increase PageRank can detract from other important aspects of SEO.
