Google Page Rank Calculator

A friend of mine was expressing her confusion over page rank. She didn't really understand it. So, I thought I would write a post to try and explain what Page Rank really is.

First, it is nothing more than a grade, like you received in school. Google grades your blog. It uses this grade to rank you in searches, drive traffic to your site, and determine how much google money you will earn from them. At PR2 and PR3, I rarely receive more than 5% of what Google promises for a certain keyword. That is okay, it still works out to $15 - $25 a month. A friend of mine who optimizes for Google earns about $100 + a month.

So, if you would like to see what grade Google gives your blog, then visit this page rank calculator and enter your url. Remember that you must try it with and without the www.
