A few clarifications and up-to-date practical advice to build on the points from , and .

The publicly visible “Toolbar” PageRank that people watched years ago is no longer a reliable metric; Google uses internal link-based scores as only one of many ranking signals and does not publish a continuously refreshed PR value. Focus on measurable improvements to real ranking signals (relevance, site quality, technical health, and authoritative links) rather than chasing a toolbar number — see how Google describes ranking as a combination of many signals (How Google Search works).

For context, the original PageRank math models a “random surfer” over the web graph and includes a damping factor (commonly cited around 0.85) that governs how link weight is distributed; that explains why a few high-quality links are much more valuable than many low-value ones (Page & Brin, Stanford paper). That core idea still helps explain link value, but modern rankings layer many other signals on top of it.

Practical, repeatable steps that go beyond “get backlinks”:

  • Create linkable assets (original research, tools, comprehensive guides) that earn natural links.
  • Do targeted outreach and broken-link/resource-page outreach on relevant sites rather than mass link buying.
  • Use topical content clusters and deliberate internal linking to concentrate authority on priority pages.
  • Keep technical SEO clean (canonicalization, mobile speed, structured data, crawlability) so earned links actually help.

Monitor and protect: use Search Console for the Links and Manual Actions reports, disavow only when you have clear spammy links or a manual penalty (follow Google’s guidance), and avoid paid/reciprocal link schemes (Link schemes - Google Search Central, , ). Measure success by organic traffic and rankings, not a single public PR number.

Page Rank (often denoted by PR) is Google’s ranking software that calculates the relevance of a webpage with its content. Page Rank is a quantity (between 0 and 10) defined by Google that provides a rough estimate of the overall importance of a web page.

The public PageRank is available from Google's toolbar and is a score from 0 to 10. It's best to call the is the Toolbar PageRank.

Google uses and keeps it's own private PageRank that is far more accurate and upto date. This is what is used as one of the 200+ factors in deciding search results.

To increase your page rank you need to get websites with good PageRanks to link to you. PageRank flows through links and this is often called link juice.

Not all links provide juice. There are ways for websites to block the flow, such as the rel="nofollow" attribute setting. Many websites such as facebook and twitter use this to stop their own website being spammed by people trying to get ranking.

Hi,

In my own experiences, keeping updating your sites with niche relative contents regularly and increasing back links stably using your targeted keywords as anchor text would be the top 2 factors for having a higher PR.

have a nice day,
