My site is new as of last month (October). I have received a PR4 link that is not in my niche (designer who worked for me placed me in his portfolio) and 3 PR5 links that are in my niche. I also have a PR6 link that is in my niche. My domain is 18 months old, never dropped (I thought of the name and newly purchased it). If it matters about 8-9 months ago I changed registrars. It is a Drupal site that has on-site SEO work done to it. Other than the mentioned links and on-site SEO I have not done anything else to affect the PR. Does anybody have an idea as to what type of PR (if any) I should be expecting during Google's next quarterly page rank update?
It depends on how many other links are on those pages. The outbound PR from a page is split among the outgoing links on the page (including links to other pages on the site).
It also depends of the location of the link on the page, the trust of the page, the anchor text used, etc. etc. There's no easy answer to this one.
Depends on following factors -- 1) The site linking to ur site must have the ability to PASS-ON link juice -- ***It is not rare to find these days that - sites linking to you have high PR - but Google knows about them and filtered them so as not to be able to PASS the juice. 2) It is also important how many links are going out of the linking page -- If everything is OK - u will get minimum PR3 and maximum PR5 depending on above factors.
Not in this case. While your criteria are certainly important, they are irrelevant when talking strictly about PR. You could argue that location on the page may make a difference, but the original PageRank formula didn't take that into consideration so there's no telling if it matters now. Trust and anchor text are very important for ranking well (which is really what matters), but not factored at all for PageRank.
Don't worry so much about PR - worry more about your site, content, links and how you rank. Public PR is not the most important factor in Google rankings.
All of the posts offer great detail... I would rather have 1 link from a google authority site than 500 from non authority sites.
It is really very difficult to predict the PageRank.. Earlier I had 2 sites with same number of links.. But one site got a PR2 and the other one got a PR4.. There are many things that affects the PR. so just think about getting huge traffic rather than a BIG PR..
It's based on so many factors, like: Relevancy, Total of out going links on the linking page, link position, domain age and trust in the eye of SE's, etc... However, PR becomes really unpredictable those days
No, most of those items aren't relevant here. He's just asking about PageRank. That has nothing to do with relevancy, link position (probably), domain age or trust. It's just links, their PR, and total links on those pages.
If these sites don't have too many outgoing links, nothing to worry about. You will probably get a good rank but good rank doesn't take high traffic somethimes
Yes. Traffic is a different story. I want a high PR so when or if I ever decide to sell links on my site I can charge a good amount of money. From the links I have on high PR sites and through some videos I made for my site and uploaded to YouTube I am getting on average about 20 uniqes a day with a high in the 50s without really trying. For some weird reason I have an Alexa of 450k while another site of mine that gets 120 uniqes/day only has a 550k Alexa. Most importantly at this moment I am really just concentrating on creating good, unique content first. Then when I have at least 60 articles/pieces of content on my site I am going to market my site various ways I learned through reading tons of DP threads to push some real traffic to my site.
I just looked on our internal pagerank systems and i cant "legaly" tell you what you have got but you will be plesently surprised next update. "i work a google"
