Hi, I built a website 1,5 months ago. Right now pr is 0. However, When I check the iwebtools pagerank prediction tool, it says future page rank is going to be 4 and it has 85.9% Accuracy. (You can check it here) I already got first row in some search engines in terms of "swiss watches" and "swiss watches store." I am not doing anything about link exchange or other stuffs but adding unique articles. Is it possible to get pagerank 4 in the next update? And When the next update is going to be? Thanks.
No, Pagerank prediction tools are worthless and a novelty at best. No one knows the actually formula to calculate a web page's Pagerank, this is a kept secret by Google. You cannot say "In 5 months can my site be PR5?" because it has nothing to do with time, it has to do with the quality of your backlinks. More backlinks in theory would mean a higher Pagerank.
No one outside of Google knows this, it's not a predictable event. Many people will speculate and try to guess though.
Posts have been made over the last day or two in regards to a slight adjustment in PR. Seems to be a tweak rather then a complete PR update though.
I have to agree with w3bmaster on this one. PR is practically useless these days and if your only intent for getting it is to sell links.. RUN!
PR is a link analysis algorithm so the best way to gain PR is through extensive link building of quality related links... While some sites gain PR by creating quality and interesting contents that causes other sites to link them naturally...
Getting a higher toolbar PageRank should not be a goal unless you're looking to make chump change selling links.
