SE ranking

[sarahbrooks]

The importance of your website is assessed using various algorithms of a search engine; prominent aspects being:

-PageRank: A measure of the PageRank of your web page on a scale of 0 to 10. Google Toolbar tells you the topic-independent, absolute importance of a web page, 0 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. Each PR value between 1 and 10 is 6-times more important than its previous number. For example, PR5 is 6-times more important that PR4.

-Links from "Authoritative" Documents: Links coming from documents considered having higher authority in a particular industry.. links from reputed industry sites or pages having several incoming "related-industry" links. Links from authoritative documents add both, "importance" and "relevance" to your web pages. There are no publicly available qualitative tools to identify or qualify a document as being "authoritative". Search Engines like to keep this information a secret.
