How to Increase Page Ranking?

Every business works hard to increase page ranking, but why do search engines rank web pages?

Every search engine has a database and to determine their importance in the database, they use an algorithm for link analysis. This is called page rank.

How is Page Rank Measured by Search Engines?

There are several algorithms created by search engines to measure your page rank. Your site has number of links and page rank is dependent on these links; which are

• Internal links
• External links
