How Long Does It Take to Get PageRank?
One of the questions I’m asked almost daily by my readers is how long does it take for Google to assign PageRank. If you’ve ever wondered the same thing, here’s the answer to that question: It usually takes at least three full months for all of your inbound links to be calculated and counted as backlinks. Google’s PageRank is calculated based on the relevancy, quantity and quality of your inbound links, as well as the number of outbound links there are on your website. Generally speaking, the fewer outbound links a website has the better. Conversely, the higher the PR of your inbound links, the more PR is assigned to your website. For example, a website with a very respectable Google PR of 5 or 6, but with many outbound links, might be assigned much less PR than a PR3 site with only a couple of outbound links. You can track your PageRank by downloading Google’s toolbar, or by using one of the numerous sites that will allow you to check your PR. One such site is http://www.pagerankcheck
