One of the most frequently asked questions in SEO is how long does it take for Google to assign PageRank. You might have wondered the same thing, so here is the answer to your 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.
The higher the page rank of the sources of your incoming links, the better, as Google will score your page based on the quality of the inbound links.
Google assigns page rank on a case by case basis, and there are simply too many variables to estimate what your particular page rank will be. So you just have to be patient and wait and see what Google decides to do.
What is Page Rank?
Google's Page Rank is an algorithm used by Google to assign scores to websites based on the number and quality of other websites that link to it. The purpose of PR is to give an indication of the relative importance of a particular site. Generally speaking, sites with a higher page rank will appear in the search results ahead of those sites with lower page ranks. Therefore, a high page rank is very important and desireable.
Page Rank scoring is based on a scale of 0-10. With 0 being poor and 10 being exceptional. Typically 3/4 is considered good and acheivable for most sites. The jump from a page rank of 4-5 is huge and is extremely hard to acheive. A page rank of 7-10 is generally only found on web sites for house hold / world wide brands.
The key to increasing your page rank is continually adding as many relevant, quality inbound links from respected websites as you possibly can. That's really all that you can do. The rest is up to Google.
