Good morning to you all. I am very pleased to announce that our Google PageRank just hit 7. Those of you that play in the Web 2.0 space will understand the significance of this achievement – but for the benefit of the remaining 99% of planet, I can sum it up using the following excerpt from HubSpot:
0-3: New sites or sites with very minimal links
4-5: Popular sites with a fair amount of inbound links
6: Very popular sites that have hundreds of links, many of them quality links
7-10: Usually media brands (NYTimes.com), big companies or A-list bloggers.
WHAT IS PAGERANK?
Google defines it as follows:
“PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. 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 the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important”.”
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR CLIENTS?
An AGORACOM PageRank of 7 is a significant “Google vote” for all pages that we link to. This is great news for our clients that receive significant linkage from AGORACOM and who themselves are trying to increase their own relevance and PageRank.
Thanks to our team and members for helping build a community that is so highly recognized by Google. Let’s relish 7 for a while … and then start gunning for 8! How do we do it? Just keep posting and creating great small-cap content. Google will recognize our efforts and reward all of us accordingly.
Regards,
George
