Are you one among those who really think that high TBPR has much to do with high ranking? If yes, giving a glance on this post might help you a lot to realize the fact. Let us first brief you about what TBPR is! Tool Baar Page Rank is nothing but the PageRank displayed in numbers 0 to10 on your Google toolbar. However, stating its value vague and completely irrelevant is wrong. More or less we give value to TBPR’s to determine a links worth. TBPR holds little interest and acts as a general measurement tool for a page’s link poularity.

To make it more clear for you, let us explain the two types of PR. The first type is a number displayed in between 0 to 10, normally used by Google to demonstrate how valuable is any document to random surfer, according to the parameters set by them. It gives an approximate idea about the popularity of a page, probably in the form of percentile with every other document in their database. Another type of PageRank, specifically measuring link popularity, is a calculation based on the number of other pages linking to a given page. This PageRank can never be 1, since Google indexes 8,000,000,000 pages at a time. Therefore a typical pagerank’s value will be starting from, say ‘1′ divided by ‘8,000,000,000′ and can be adjusted accordingly up or down.

Usually, Google updates TBPR very fast, may be at every short interval of 3 or 4 months or may be sooner than that. You become pleased when you see greater value on your TBPR. But having more TBPR value than your competitor, for certain keywords, doesn’t mean that you will rank higher than them on search engines. There are several sites with TBPR 0 and rank first in SERPs, and there are sveral others with high TBPR that ranks below than sites having lower TBPR.

So, people talking about “losing TBPR’s value” and writing lengthy analysis on it, are all useless and has no relevance in terms of search engine rankings. The reason for which people still believes in it and talks about its importance is due to the splatter of this idea inflicted on usual SEO knowledge across Internet, which will take several years to overturn the myth.

One of the most assured ways to get high ranking is to get good links from directories and other relevant sources and putting outbound links from your webpage to others, make your page more valuable for Google. Also, “losing PageRank” certainly does not mean you are going to lose anything because high TBPR does not really mean high ranking. TBPR is a number game in today’s SEO world and is not relied on for any worthy meaning.
