Can you tell me on which basis Google provides Page Rank? And, how can I increase page rank for the web site?

A brief, practical update for anyone landing on this old thread: the public “Toolbar PageRank” number is no longer a reliable metric and Google treats PageRank conceptually as one signal among many — not a single target to chase. The PageRank formula posted earlier is historically correct, but the visible PR values people used to monitor were phased out and should not drive strategy; Google recommends focusing on measurable, business-facing outcomes instead. Beyond PageRank: Graduating to actionable metrics. (developers.google.com)

Many replies here (for example and ) correctly point to links and content as important, but nuance matters: link quality, relevance, and context matter far more than raw counts, and buying or trading links to manipulate ranking is explicitly against Google’s spam policies. Link attributes such as rel="sponsored" and rel="ugc" exist and Google now treats nofollow-style attributes as hints rather than absolute blocks — use them to label links, not to try to “game” PageRank. · Evolving “nofollow” announcement. ()

A short, page-focused troubleshooting checklist that complements earlier advice (and explains ’s inner-page gains from better content):

  • Verify ownership in Search Console and check Manual Actions, Coverage, and Performance reports.
  • Run a content audit against Google’s helpful-content guidance and consolidate or fix thin/auto-generated pages.
  • Audit backlinks (use tools + Search Console), request removals for clearly spammy links and only use disavow when there’s a manual action or clear algorithmic harm.
    Relevant docs: Search Console start and the Helpful Content guidance. (developers.google.com)

Bottom line: stop optimizing for an obsolete PR number. Invest in page-level relevance, honest editorial links, technical health, and measurement (Search Console / Analytics). Those practices drive long-term visibility and avoid the penalties and wasted effort that the old “PR-chasing” mindset often caused. (developers.google.com)

google give page rank by analyzing your back-link quality only. So build do follow high page rank backlinks

Member Avatar for johnjames1985

It is not just backlink quality, because Ive seen sites with a large number of backlinks but they have a low PR

Member Avatar for chemistdirect

Google gives rank as per the quality of your page. If your page is informative and useful for your visitors and also the quality of link backs to that page from same niche.

Google page rank algorithm is based on this formula

PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))

where
PR(A) is the PageRank of page A,
PR(Ti) is the PageRank of pages Ti which link to page A,
C(Ti) is the number of outbound links on page Ti and
d is a damping factor which can be set between 0 and 1.

So, first of all, we see that PageRank does not rank web sites as a whole, but is determined for each page individually. Further, the PageRank of page A is recursively defined by the PageRanks of those pages which link to page A.

To increase the page rank you have to continuously work on the site. Have to build the site with quality contents and back links. Since they are very essential for search engine optimization.

Page rank is all about the quality (page rank) of pages linking to any given page. You can build a high PR on a page within your site while having a low PR on your landing page, though high PR children share rank with parents.

I agree with it. I want to add one more thing in it. Content optimization is very important factor to gather good page rank. I have different experience with my website. There are 76 web pages in my website and I am working on home page with my link building campaign. I never approach or start link building for inner pages but inner pages have very good page rank. (1 to 4 page rank) I assumed that it's due to unique content and started work on unique content plus proper content optimization. Now, I can see some hike in page rank for inner pages after edition of content with unique one.
