Domain and Page Rank
Domain Rank
Domain Rank is a metric that represents the overall authority of a domain based on the quality and quantity of its backlinks. A higher Domain Rank indicates that a website has a more authoritative backlink profile, which often translates to better search engine rankings. The Domain Rank is calculated as the normalized sum of the Page Rank values of all indexed pages on a domain.
Domain Rank Scale:
| Domain Rank | Meaning |
|---|---|
2-3 | Newly created domains usually receive this score with few backlinks. |
20-30 | Large domains usually receive this score with many backlinks from authoritative pages. |
50+ | This score is usually received by huge domains with a significant number of backlinks from authoritative pages; very few domains have such rank scores. |
Page Rank
Page Rank is a metric that estimates the authority of a specific webpage based on the quality and quantity of its inbound links. A higher Page Rank indicates that a webpage is perceived as more important and authoritative, which can lead to better search engine rankings. Page Rank is calculated using a formula similar to the original Google PageRank algorithm.
Factors considered in Page Rank calculation:
The number of inbound linking pages.
The number of outbound links on each linking page.
The Page Rank of each linking page.
The damping factor simulates the probability of a random user continuing to click on links as they browse the web (it is perceived to decrease with each link click).
Please note that not all backlinks are equal. Depending on the types of backlinks, they may pass all their Page Rank or none. For example:
A 301 link passes all of its Page Rank to the destination page.
A 302 link passes the same amount of Page Rank as a regular backlink.
A canonical URL passes all of its Page Rank to the destination page.
A link with the "nofollow" attribute doesn't pass Page Rank but is still considered a backlink by Seodity.
A link with the "ugc" attribute doesn't pass Page Rank but is still considered a backlink by Seodity.
A link with the "sponsored" attribute doesn't pass Page Rank but is still considered a backlink by Seodity.
