Google is by far the most popular search engine in the world. It's popular because it seems to rank pages so accurately and quickly, time and time again. The secret to its success is its top secret Page Rank Algorithm. It is this algorithm in which Google uses to index every webpage on the Internet. This indexing then ranks the pages based on importance on a scale of 1 to 10, with one being the lowest and ten of course being the highest.Google developed its page ranking system in an effort to increase the quality of search results and has left all of its competitors for dead. As a result, search engine optimization (SEO) gurus are always looking to find new ways to increase their Google rankings. As we all know, a website is a pretty nifty thing to have for a myriad of different reasons. But the truth is that it's worth is derived from the people that surf it, and if no one is surfing it, then it becomes useless. So who's the biggest website referrer? The answer is Google in almost every case.

So to put it more clearly, Google Page rank is based on back links. Back links are Links pointing to your website from another website. The more back links you have the higher your PR will be. Keep in mind that not all back links are treated equally. A back link from a page with a rank of 10 is worth more than a back link from 10 pages with a rank of 0, but everything counts. Click here to see how your site measures up using our tool. Below are 5 sure ways you can increase your PR on google:

1. Try to get your keywords into your url and title metatag. Lets say your site was shop.com, the title might be: "Shop - Tvs, Computers, Cameras". Properly fill in your description metatag and your keyword metatag.
2. IMPORTANT TIP: Trade your link with other web owners. Put their link on your website and they will put your link in them. This is for free and the very fast way to improve your visibility in search engines. Submit to search engine directories is another good way to get a free link to your website. Most search engine directories allow you to submit to their website for free and some sites will even submit to multiple search engines at one time automatically.
3. More one way links. Unlike a link exchange where two sites link to each other, a one way link is just what it sounds like. It is a link from a web site or blog that only links to you, however you are not required to link back to them. These kinds of links hold more weight in the google algorithm than swaped ones. There are a number of ways to do this and it might be even easier than a link exchange. You can join forums or create/comment articles on various sites an in your signature you could have your website's address. Another good way is to post free ads on sites like Craigslist, AdPost and Indocquent.
4. Create sitemap for your website (XML based for Google and text based for yahoo) then submit sitemap to Google and submit sitemap to Yahoo. Get a Google webmaster account and sign in there to see your website statistics. It will also tell you if you site is indexed or not, and your page rank in Google.
5. Father Time. Time is your best friend and your enemy here. Although it has never been confirmed, rumor has it that the Google algorithm includes a system check in there for the length of time your web site or blog has been around. With good reason if you think about it. Thousands of website are created daily, many disappear after a month. It would be a strain on Google`s indexing system to constantly weed out these sites that never make it. Therefore, the longer a site has been around the favorably it is looked upon. So as you can see time is your friend if your site has been around awhile, and your enemy if it is fairly new.
