Google PageRank is an algorithm that tells you
how good and trustworthy a site is.

Google Page Rank is not just search results,
though the two are related.

Google PageRank does not automatically change
when your traffic changes. PageRank is manually
updated by Google.

The last PageRank update was February 2013.
Nobody knows when the next one will occur.

Results depend now on your device, your
location, your browser...

optimisation, how are you going to test it?

All of these are great reasons for you to have
excellent content, that is easy to use on every
device, and every browser.

location, you're losing heaps of traffic.

useable on a small screen.

No. Focus on your conversion goals instead.

it's not functioning properly.
