Thread: What is Average PageRank?

People are going crazy over their pagerank and in learning about ways to make it go up. Maybe if they had a way of comparing their pagerank to an overall average #, then they might feel a little better about where their current pagerank is.

I currently have a PageRank of 4.

I am wondering though what is the average PageRank? What do you guys think?

Now I know it is impossible to be exact, but it might be fun to guess!

I am guessing, from the pages that I have seen so far online, I am really starting to think that the average overall pagerank for websites around the world is pitifully 2-3. I originally was going to say 3-4 but I subtracted one because of all the 0 pageranks that are out there that many people do not even realize.

Now the highest pagerank I personally have seen through my research online is a 7. I saw a 9 but that was a directory so I do not really count that one. I am talking about the average webmaster website.

What do you guys think it is?

I think the average page rank is when you are on the first page. It can be any place but on the first page.

I don't think page rank average has any relevancy to your site, my site or any one else's. What should be looked at maybe is where does your PR places you in the SERP. Some sites with lower page ranks fare better than some with higher Pr in the SERP. So I guess it's a question of doing one's home work, and give good quality content, good back linking (PR), and a regularly updated website, target the right keywords...

Hi,

If I was to guess about PR my guess would be PR3 but only a guess. My reason is because of all the PR0 pages around.

You are correct, there are sites that have lower page rank and fair better in serps. This is do to the fact that google has over 200 other ranking elements that it takes into consideration when figuring out which sites to display in it's serps.

But This thread is only asking for people's opinions on what they think the overall average pagerank is. It was meant to be a light-hearted guess, i just wanted an average #!

I did not ask them to calculate any other element but pagerank.

Yes I agree Sami4u!

Because of all of the PR0 sites that are out there, that most because don't even think about or realize, these PR0 sites would definately pull the overall average down some.

and since it is just a guess no one can really be sure about it, but it is still something fun to think about!

Hi,

We might be thinking two different things. PR stands for page rank not site rank. Each page has it own rank. Tons of PR0 pages on every site. PR really is over rated.

I see what you mean, guess I should have specified, ok I meant the average PR of home pages across the globe

I would think 2-3 myself, I really dont care much about PR, i got sites that make great money and are only PR1, my highest site is PR5 at the moment.

Google pagerank is simply a popularity measurement tool. Designed to rank and place a website in the Google search index, the Google pagerank is given on a scale of 0-10 where a "0" is the lowest possible score for a website and a "10" is the highest score possible. And I think average page rank should be 4 or 5.

I think the global average would be below 1 because there are many PR0 pages on every site.

I think 1-2 is the average PR for a site cause there are still so many sites that are PR0.

i thinks PR is meaning less.

I think 3, but it just a guess, never look at PR o my site , main focus is SERP.

I hope not! Cause my highest sites are all PR2 lol!

If I understand there is also rating for the PR (like a site could have PR2, but a low PR2 while another could have a high PR2) Wish I could find that tool...

I think the average of any quality site is 3. 4 is pretty good, and 5 is excellent. 6+ is amazing 8+is godly

In my view page rank 3 and page rank 4 is average page rank...

i thnk 2,3 is a average page rank.

I don't think the average page rank is so much important what is necessary is to know is where does your PR places you in the SERP that is the most important thing as chrismv said.

Now that is something I don't agree with. PR is one of the many important ranking factors.

2 page rank is average page rank of website.

I definately like this response! Good way of putting it, most people need to keep in mind that Average can be a good thing, in the strive for "GODLINESS" lol as you put some can drive themselves crazy, when an average PR 4 or PR 5 is still something to praise, at least you are not a PR 0, right?

Thanks,

Today this concept has gone far away from SEOs they just think about traffic and traffic is the real fight for doing SEO. No Page Rank OR Alexa Rank matters a lot.

As per me in betweeen 2 to 4

Hi,

As per my knowledge Average PR word does not exist.There is only word PR of a website....PR (Page Rank) means what is the position of your website in search engine like google.Numeric value is used to represent PR of a website.........

I think If home page of your site has 3 or 4 PR. But other page are 0 or 1 PR then your site average PR category.

4 & 5 is the average page rank of a website .

The Average PageRank for every website is PR4. If you got PR5, you site rank is above average

Obvious SERP matters most for me but still PR3 is i think average for me

As far as i see, PR4 is an average page rank for an average website.

Page Rank make no sense only the traffic matters. its been noticed that sometimes a less used page is ranked higher that the page which has more importance.

I think average PR is 3. some websites find it hard to have PR4
