A proprietary numerical score that is assigned by Google to every web page in their index. PR for each page is calculated by Google using a special mathematical algorithm, based on the number and quality (as determined by Google) of the inbound links to the page. Paid Inclusion - Some directories will only consider placing your URL into their database if you pay them a fee. Yahoo charges a $299 per year evaluation fee for commercial sites. Note that this fee doesn't guarantee that your URL will be accepted and placed in the Yahoo database, but rather that Yahoo will consider your site for inclusion in a timely manner. If your site is rejected, you're just out your $299. But you do have an opportunity to appeal the decision.
Named after the founders of Google, one of the key elements used by Google to determine a site's relevance to a user's search. It is a measure of the quantity and relevance of links to a web page (not a web site). Hence there may be many links to a given web page, but if they are from irrelevant web pages, that destination web page will not necessarily have a high Page Rank. Click here for more info.
Devised by Google, it measures not only how many links point to a website, but the "quality" of the sites providing the links.
PageRank (PR) - is a system used by Google to assign rank to web pages. PR is a numeric value from 0-10, or no PR (gray bar) calculated by Google using proprietary algorithm. Essentially, the heart of PR calculation depends on how sites are linked to one another. Simply put, a link from site A to site B is a vote to site B. Moreover, if site A has high PR then site B receives more benefits.
A method developed and patented by Stanford University and Larry Page (co-founder of Google) to rank search engine results.

(PR) – a method of measuring a web site or webpage relative to other sites or pages within its subject area. The term PageRank is trademarked by Google.

System used by Google to identify the value of a particular page in terms of linking. Page Rank is measured as a score ranging from 0 - 10.
Page Rank is Google's version of link popularity, and is an integral part of the Google algorithm. Page Rank is calculated based on the number and quality of incoming links to a particular web page, and is a patented method Google uses to determine a web page's relevance or importance.
Google's measure of the link popularity of a page.
The numerical value a search engine assigns a Web page based on the page’s relevance and the quality of its information in response to a given keyword query. Every search engine determines page rank differently, using various factors located both on and off the page. The "PageRank" algorithm was first described by Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The algorithm was modeled on the same mechanism used to determine the "impact" of a research journal article. Namely, the more people who cite a paper, the more likely it was of major value. PageRank simply takes into account the number of incoming links and the quality of the pages referring to your site. Search engines are far more clever today in ranking sites, but the basic principle of PageRank is still used by all major search engines.
In short PageRank is a “voteâ€, by all the other pages on the Web, about how important a page is. A link to a page counts as a vote of support. If thereâ€(tm)s no link thereâ€(tm)s no support (but itâ€(tm)s an abstention from voting rather than a vote against the page).
One of the methods Google uses to determine the relevancy or importance of a web page.

Page Rank is a ‘score’ awarded to your website by Google. A high PR means your site is an authority site. PR is awarded according to the linking structure of your website and also the quality of the sites that link to you.
Google's term for "link popularity" (see above). PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyses the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."
PageRank is a link analysis algorithm which assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is also called the PageRank of E and denoted by PR(E).
