Rank, ranking:a website’s actual position in the free (unpaid) section of a searchengine results page for a search term. It is meaningless to speak of website rankwithout specifying what search word or phrase you are ranked for. When someone says to you “My website is #1 on Google”, you need to ask “OK, but for which search term?”
PageRank: Google’s patented system for specifying a web page’s importance, PageRank (PR) is a single, albeit important, factor that influences ranking. Many people confuse a page’s rank (what position they are on a search results page) with a page’s PageRank (PR) value. They are totally separate.
