Site 'authority' is a ranking factor, another biggie is the first identified originator of the article.
The somewhat outdated page rank system, not updated for many months last year, seems to mainly represent the number and quality of links from other sites to each individual page, pages get ranked, not sites. I don't think you can read the internal Google site authority ranking.
The keywords you have used and linked with the URL will be visible highly whenever someone search that keyword. But when other keywords searched online your website will not be visible.
It depends upon the search, what user want to search and what kind of keyword they used for search also it depends upon SEO, while doing SEO they were using High PR sites lots more things depends upon to rank high or low.
For ideal SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION results My partner and i suggest employing Google Search Bot: http://is.gd/gsbsoftware Applying that application We have placed our internet site to very first page of Google on a high competing search phrase.
SEO depends on many factors and the site and title are just 2 percent of whole seo.
CaptainSSH, It is a combination of 2 factors, at its simplest!
1. The site's overall authority status and trust factor. You add new page to Wikipedia, it almost instantly starts ranking. That page, in itself, doesn't have what it takes to rank, but due to the fact that Wikipedia carries it, makes it rank. It is like the son/daughter of an established politician getting a leg-up in politics.
2. The page-specific factors - You might be seeing a lot of Press Release sites' pages ranking in Google these days for competitive, commercially important keywords. It is a form of Parasite SEO. You create a page on a high authority site, which many of the leading PR sites are. Buy/create/spam a lot of links pointing to that page using keyword-rich anchor text. Now, that page starts ranking for that keyword. That page left to itself, would not have ranked for that keyword. If those links were built to a page on a low-authority site, would have caused a Penguin or manual penalty to the site. You are riding on the combination of links and site authority.
Hope it is clear?
Its not about your page it is about the article site were you are placing your article. Because every article site has it different domain authority and different PR.
I've noticed my articles are all over the place in google, some pages rank high and some rank low, does each article need to be advertised differently or does my site pagerank determine where individual articles go as well?
