Is this calculator legit?

Does it make sense? Do you think it works?

 

hmmmm - i'd like to know.

who cares about PR though? high PR doesn't necessarily mean high SERP...

very interesting though - to be able to figure out how many IBLs you need to jump up a PR point.

 

It makes sense, but that doesn't make it true. Google does quite a bit to squelch the flow of PR so you will probably need many more links than that chart indicates.

 

those are quite accurate methods of calculating PR points. but then again, pr is not that important. it's more to show off (and get trades with people who care about pr).
good seo and quality links can get your pr0 site higher then other bigger sites. i know it from personal experience

 

???

really? did you try it?

i'm pretty sure that google has not, and will not, release their PR algorithm... how do you know that's accurate?

 

The Google algorithm can be closely calculated and has been for some time. It might not be 100% accurate but its close. I am just wondering if that site seems to do it correctly. I rather like it. Also I made $300 this past month on PR =)

 

What do you mean you made $300 on PR???

 

It is a tight nice so I can't really give out the details. I am just saying that PR sites can earn you lots. I earned $300 with about 5 hours of work. Then a 10 minute thing to do every now and then. Money still rolling in.

 

My point was that PR has nothing to do with AdSense or the amount of people visiting your site / clicking your ads.

 

Of course not. It can still rake in a huge profit if you know how to use it.

 

All depends on goes algorithms.

 

if you know how to use PR???

what do you mean? that makes no sense.

 

It makes sense to me =)

 

most of the pr tools suck. no future pr tools

 

You think it doesn't really work?

 

What are you talking about? PR is just a number. It has nothing to do with how many people click your ad links. PR hardly even determines how well your ranked (but it certainly does to an extent). Either way, the traffic you receive has plenty to do with how successful your PPC campaigns are, and nothing to do with PR.

People care wayyy too much about PR. Most don't realize that the number hardly even matters. Forget about PR. Focus on keywords and SERP.

 

What if I don't want traffic =)

 

The original Pagerank formula has been published, it's not a secret:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank

The question today is how much is google depending on that formula to actually calculate SERPs.

 

Hmm so it should be 100% accurate. Thanks!

 

it does not say how many pr 0 make pr 1 , i know non of my websites have a pr link but still they are pr 2 and pr1
