What is the Google PageRank
Google PageRank is a website's popularity indicator provided by Google.
As the firm keeps secret its methods of analysis, no one could tell for sure how important is the PageRank in the indexing of your website on Google. Nevertheless, if in the early days of the web the PageRank was obviously an essential part of a website's indexing, nowadays, especially since the last Panda update, PageRank became more of an indicator without much influence.
A website's PageRank goes from 0 to 10 (0 indicating that the website isn't popular on the web as 80% of the online pages and 10 being the highest possible level of popularity).
What is the AlexaRank
The AlexaRank is an online ranking provided by the international website "Alexa".
Alexa tracks the top 10 million websites worldwide and gives them a ranking from 1 (the most popular website worldwide) to 10.000.000 (the last website of the ranking). It also gives a "local" ranking to your website for you to estimate the value of your page compared to your local competitor.
What is the difference between the two?
AlexaRank is based on traffic while Google PageRank considers the site itself.
AlexaRank considers only one aspect to establish its ranking while Google PageRank considers a large panel of parameters.
AlexaRank is constantly updated while Google PageRank can take months to change.
AlexaRank must be as low as possible while Google PageRank should be the highest possible.
AlexaRank has informational value only while Google PageRank actually influences your online ranking (on Google).
