Pagerank Question.

hi. if i have a link pointing to my site from a partner site that has a pagerank 5 in the main page but has a pagerank of 2 on the resources page and the link is in the resources. Will Google consider that i have a link from a website with pagerank 5 or pagerank 2?
Thanks

 

PR2, its page rank not site rank.

 

its name describes whole story!

 

thats correct, just PR2, but however you need to split that PR2 witht total links on the site, and thats the aproximate pagerank you will get actually.

say, 20 links then your PR will be Pr2 / 20 = 0.1 PR * .85 (dempening factor) = 0.085 PR points

 

Wher does the .85 come from in that example?

 

Its dempening factor, exit links get .85 of all PR of given page sice no page can be without PageRank;

the 0.85 is aproximate aprisal of these who analyzed this all;

 

thanks a lot. that was helpful

 

It's important to recgnise that the formula is very 'broad brush' because google don't actually use 0-10, but somethink like 0-1000000, that they the group somehow to give the toolbar PR that we see. So it acts as a guideline, not a fact.

So if I have a PR4 and someone else has a PR4, and we link to no-one but each other, our PR will not increase by 4*.85 = 3.6 ie we will not both become PR7 or PR8. More likely PR5.

Likewise if I have 10 sites, each PR2 with no other links, and link from them all to one site, that site will surely not be PR18, more probably PR3 or PR4.

And one link from a PR3 will not raise a PR7 to a PR8, let alone a PR9.

 

How do ip zones affect all of this? Links from a site within the same ip will be ignored? (Link from one of my sites to another of my sites.)

What if both sites have the same base ip... but different ip extansions? xxx.xxx.xxx.55 and xxx.xxx.xxx.56 for example.

 

From other guy obrevations and from my own tests I can see this number could be about 25 for PR4-PR5 sites. Probably it's not linear and more like very flexible when you fall in any of these PR x categories. And again we have to remember about rounding.

 

better read this article for more updates and info..

 

PR2, and since it is a page full of links, as I understood it, they divide up the page rank amongst the links on a page.

So if you were the only link on the page, more PR would pass to you, but since they were many, probably less will pass to you. Only a minute fraction of PR2.

As always, this is just what I have read, it could be absolutely wrong, no one outside google really knows exactly how google calculates PR.
