  Page rank is based on;

  Domain age (how long you have been on the internet)

  How many backlinks you have (people linking in)

  How many high ranking websites/blogs link to you.

  Thanks for the compliment and not to worry; I am not cheating any employer. I am self employed, so while I run my other jobs in the background I can use the waiting time and time in between runs to answer questions. :)
