We have a great question today from Gilliam and quarterback who asks,
I see so many people asking “Will this increase my page rank?” Could you tell them once again that ranking is not just about “page rank” but also 200 different signals and while being there why don’t you tell us about those other two hundred different signals.
So I’m happy to say that yes “pagerank” while important it’s one of the more important of the two hundred signals that we have is still one of only 200 different signals that we use in ranking.
People shouldn’t be backlink obsessed, they shouldn’t suffer from bo as i like to say.
So pagerank does matter,but it’s not the only thing that matters.
As far as you know the other signals that are used in rankings, there’s a lot of stuff that’s common sense.
Not just the links but think about anchor text and then think about the content that’s on the page, there’s the URL of the page.the title of the page whether something’s in a header or not there’s content on the page there’s even proximity.
So if brittany is up here and spirit is down here, that’s different than Britney Spears right next to each other.
So there’s a lot of different signals that we use in our ranking and a lot of them are really common sense.
Things that you could probably guess the secret sauce is in the blending and exactly how we wait different signals and which ones we think really matter a lot in terms of returning high-quality search results.
But again PageRank is one of only two more than 200 different signals that we use so please don’t get obsessed with pagerank and only pay attention to page rank.
If you’re thinking about whether users are going to have a good experience whether your visitors are going to be happy and whether they’re going to want to tell their friends to come to your site or check it out that’s the mark where website will often be very successful
Quick Answer: There’s 200 in total
