Hi, I saw somewhere that there's a PageRank. I want to know what it is and what it does. How can I boost it if it is intended to do good to my site ranking?

Thanks.

PageRank is what Google uses for ranking criteria. You can find the information on it here:

According to your looksmart article on freemoneyservices.com, I suppose the only way to boost PageRank is by getting a site listed on LookSmart and Yahoo, right?

That is a really good start and should be done first, along with DMOZ.org.

Then try to get other good web sites that are listing in Google to link to your site. Then you are on your way to getting a good PageRank.

Hi USBnuts:

PageRank is a lot more complicated than just getting a listing in Looksmart, but that will help.

PageRank is a patent pending technique used by Google and is calculated based on how many sites link to your site, How many sites link to the sites that link to your site, and the quality of those links.

2 seconds after Google updated posted the new index. I have 1,100 page listed. All big featured articles' PAGERANK are UP by two folds.

USB 1.1 Explained (Listed in DMOZ.org)
http://www.everythingusb.com/usb1.1/

USB 2.0 Explained (Listed in Yahoo directory)
http://www.everythingusb.com/usb2/

USB 2.0 FAQ
http://www.everythingusb.com/usb2/faq.htm

But still, I have to wait for Google index to 'stabilize' after the dance.

Good for you usbnuts!

Now you just have to get ranked on your good keyword phrases.

Honestly, for those URLs, I don't see a better keyphrases fitted more than usb 2.0, usb, and usb port. I used WordTracker to do some analysis.

Here's what I got:

usb 2276 2001
usb drivers 838 737
usb driver 766 673
usb port 645 567
usb hub 470 413
usb 2.0 376 331
usb adapter 280 246
usb cable 268 236
usb cables 230 202
usb network 219 193
usb ports 217 191
usb hubs 198 174
usb hard drive 184 162

But not all my articles cover topics that are relevant to all of these keywords. So, I could only use some of them, like USB, USB drivers, USB driver, USB port, USB 2.0, USB cable, USB cables.
