How to Get From PR0 to PR3
Search engines assign a page rank of zero to new websites. As a site’s credibility grows in the eyes of the search engines, the page rank increases. Ten is the highest page rank a website can achieve. Although a page rank of three dwells on the lower end of the scale, webmasters view it as a benefit because it shows some importance and credibility. A variety of factors contribute to the determination of page rank, with incoming links from other credible sites serving as the primary factor. You must understand the factors needed to improve page rank because it is important to the visibility of your website.
