PageRank of 4!

Yay! Rankk made it to a PageRank of 4 :)

It's definitely a pat on the back for us, in addition to the increasing membership and the kind donations we've received.

In case you're wondering what this PR thing is, it's Google’s system for ranking web pages. A page with a higher PR is deemed more important and is more likely to be listed in Google's search results above a page with a lower PR.

The PR value is viewable from Google's Toolbar, if you've one installed. Otherwise, there are many sites that let you calculate a site's PR value. Here's one: Rankwhere.

So what does a PR of 4 really mean?

Dharmesh Shah of HubSpot wrote an interesting guide about the importance of PR. He gave an idea of what PR values mean by dividing them into these broad categories:

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.

Wow, Rankk is a popular site :)

Hi Korigan,

Thanks for dropping by. It's indeed quite rare for anybody to leave comments on this blog so it's a pleasant surprise to see one :P

Are you the admin of HackBBs? Is so, may I request you to add a link from your site to Rankk?
