What is a PageRank and how it is related to backlinks optimization
Google assigns a numeric weighting numbers from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet; this PageRank denotes the site’s importance in the eyes of Google. It is also known as PR0, PR1, PR2, PR3, PR4, PR5, PR6, PR7, PR8, PR9 and PR10 with the purpose of "measuring" the webpage relative importance among websites. (A website can have different PR assigned to different pages within the same website.)
Google describes PR: PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's |importance. In essence Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes inspects the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important".
A PageRank results from a "ballot" among all the other pages on the internet about how important a page is. A hyperlink to a page counts as a vote of support. The PageRank of a page depends on the number and PageRank metric of all pages that link to it ("incoming links"). A page that is linked to by many pages with high PageRank receives a high rank itself. If there are no links connected to a web page there is no support for that page.
The PageRank (PR) is derived from a theoretical probability value on a logarithmic scale like the Richter Scale. It means, for example, that a PR9 can be 10 times more valuable than PR8 and maybe 100 times more valuable than PR 7. The PageRank of a particular page is roughly based upon the quantity of inbound links as well as the PageRank of the pages providing the links. It is known that other factors, e.g. relevance of search words on the page and actual visits to the page reported by the Google toolbar also influence the PageRank. The name "PageRank" is a trademark of Google the exact formula that determine the PR is kept confidential by Google.


Backlinks, also known as inbound links, are the backbone key ingredients of Search Engine Positioning. Backlinks are links on other websites that lead back to your website. The more established, high quality, and high Page Rank the website that contains the link has, the more power it has to help the linked website with its search engine position. If the website that is getting backlinks gets many high quality links from high PageRank websites, it has better the chance of being in a high position on the search engines results page serp (search engines results page) .

Not all backlinks are equal there are other factors beside PR that determine the value of each links.
