What is moz rank ?

[ronells]

I read an article about SEO and moz rank was mentioned repeatedly. Is it something new in SEO?

As what I've read Moz Rank is a competitor to Google’s page rank system. Their algorithm for the page ranking must work differently, otherwise they would be violating Google’s patent for the specific manner and algorithms used when Google establishes page rank.

MOZ rank is using a good formula. I use it to check sites wether to buy or not

I don't think Google sees MOZ rank as a competitor...

Moz Rank displays how well-liked given web page is on web. Pages with high mozRank scores tend to rank best. The more links to given page, more well-liked it becomes.

there is no direct relationship between mozrank and pagerank.

mozrank (or correctly put: "mozRank", or "mR") is a system designed by the nice people over at seoMoz that is meant to 'mimic' pagerank effectively, but providing SEOs with a more accurate interpretation - for instance 5.28 instead of just "5".

Its handy for finding pages that have been PR penalized etc.

HOWEVER: its taken from a small(er) datasample than google's index. I am however a PRO member over at seomoz and can heartily recommend it. its a great site, with great tools and great people.

MOZ Rank is way better than Pagerank imo, Google should hide PR

As per me MozRank shows the popularity of a particular Web site is online. Pages with high mozRank popular scores tend to rank better. The more connections to a given page, the more popular it becomes. Links to important pages to increase the popularity of a page, then his mozRank more unpopular sites.

MozRank represents a link popularity score. It reflects the importance of any given web page on the Internet. Pages earn MozRank by the number and quality of other pages that link to them. The higher the quality of the incoming links, the higher the MozRank.
