PageRank and PageStrength?

I am a bit confused on the difference between PageRank and PageStrength?

ONe of my sites has a PR5 and a PS7

 

I am surprised you found a tool on the web that works for PR & PS

 

Are you being sarcastic? If so go do it in someone else's thread.

PR > http://www.digpagerank.com

PS > http://www.seomoz.org/page-strength

 

Whichever is highest is the more important one

 

Pr = google page rank.

PS - includes many criterias one of which is PR

 

And i would love to see your PS 7 website Would you mind sharing it with us?

 

PS tool includes lot of other data which Google doesn't care about.
So you cannot compare both for same page.

 

is one more important than the other?

 

Like mistermix said...

When someone is trying to appear important they will quote the higher one

 

Definitely PR is more important when compared with new generated PS. But PR itself has very very less value. You can fake it with ease.

 

Both is important, higher the value better it is.

 

No I was being factually serious most of these tools have data processing errata and as such on many occasions the results are in-accurate

 

Personally, Pagerank is more important, PS depends on some third-part-site data, some are easily to get.

 

PS also calculates other factors like Alexa (which is worthless), Technorati Links, and del.icio.us Links. The interesting thing about del.icio.us links is that a little while ago, quite a few directory owners on the forum were exchaging their delicious links for the sole purpose of increasing their PS.

Since PS can be easily manipulated by setting up a del.icio.us exchange like the one seen above, the results should really be taken with a grain of salt.

 

PageStrenght is more important than PR, but it is easier to get higher PS than PR.
Here you can check PS:

I disagree, i have number of sites which have high PR value then PS value.

 

PR > PS

ps is pretty important but not that much

 

Yes, but I am talking about high PR, low PR can be higher than PS but If you get PS8 you will not have PR8.

 

How can one fake PR?

Are you talking about URL redirect or expired domain? If others --please let me know -- I need to be careful while buying links.

 

Redirects is easiest for faking.

And for buying domains/links ... you should focus 95% on its backlinks.

Interestingly even if some one has fake PR but has enough quality backlinks to support its face PR then you should be +ve.

Backlinks are most crucial factor and never miss it.
