What does SERP stand for?

Use google for questions like this.

SERP = search engines results page

Very useful information, you're right.
For a long time , I was wonder that why my competior has the same PR with my site but they are on higher rank than

Think there's a lot that still needs cleared up on PR vs SERP's.

When I post 500 word articles onto the homepage of a PR5 blog, I can visibly see the number of places I go up in the SERP's, thanks to that article.

As that article gets bumped off the homepage and onto an inner page with much lower PR, I can visibly see a dip in the SERP's.

PR plays a huge role in the value of IBL's. In fact, I'm finding bigger boosts from high PR backlinks than I am from quantity or relevancy of sources - so much so that now high PR blog posts are my #1 tactic for rankings.

I've read a lot of things too. lol. If what you were saying was true then it wouldn't be nearly so common to find lower PR sites beating out high PR site in the SERPs.

How the algorithms calculate the PR has changed over the years but it's still based on backlinks. The SERP on the other hand has undergone many changes and is based on a lot more factors than it used to be. It sounds like you may be confusing PR with things you've read about Trust Rank. Trust Rank is based on a lot of other factors besides just backlinks. But Page Rank and Trust Rank are two different things. This thread is just explaining when and how PR (specifically) affects the SERPs.

The point is that the importance is in the backlinks. Get as many and as high PR backlinks as you can targeted for your keywords and you'll help both your sites PR and more importantly it's SERP position.

PR and SERP ranking are related, but only in that they are both affected by the same factor.

PR does indicate it's importance (if you gauge importance by how many places are linking to a page), but it doesn't necessarily indicate trust. You're confusing Page Rank with Trust Rank. Those are two separate things.

good explanation sir i'm understand now

I have considered PageRank to be a misnomer for the last 3 years, never used it to build quality links!

 

[jakey02]

Im still so confused :S

 

[jakey02]

ahhhh i get it now

 

[vishnubishnoi]

the concept of pr is simple to understand but still it required lot of hard work .In order to increased the pr of a website the concept of no of back links as well as popularity of web page is come in to the limelight

 

[bh5781]

i think after your site gets on the first page of google, for whatever reason, the only thing that matters is how "useful" or "informative" your site is. this can be measured via click through rates, etc...

 

[vishnubishnoi]

truly agree with you but still some of the fact and tactics of pr of page is left by you and if you want to know that i am happy to share with you

This post certainly makes a lot of sense. I also read some articles that say the same thing. With this in mind, hopefully my site will make its way to SERPS.
