Google PR Prediction

I know that these tools are not reliable at all. That being said, I wonder why one of my new sites would be predicting PR7 while the other predicts Unknown. I have done just as much work on the latter as the former, I believe. Anyone have any thoughts? Again, this is not something that's a big deal or that I am worried about. Just curious.

 

Chris-

All those tools are crap... they are just for fun. Don't use them to try and figure it out... it will just drive you crazy.

 

No clue, I had one update where that happened. One site placed with great linking partners, SEO optimized with all unique content, did directories, got blog plugs, wrote articles. This got PR4

Have a parked domains, one page with a RSS feed for content, PR5, registered he same day. The only backlinks where from the site listed above and a few other, which happen to be on the same IP.

My only thought is google API returns incmplete data when google is making indexing updates to a site, they do not return enough data to infer PR.

 

Thanks to the both who have replied for your feedback.

 

I used Pagerank.sc before the last update for about 1 month prior to it and it was dead on for all 4 sites I tracked.

Could have been a fluke though

 

Yea. It says unknown for me. It's weird because the other site is newer. Anyway, just interesting and wondered if anyone knew why that might be the case with their prediction system.

 

www.searchengineengine.com is fun to check out once in a while

 

ServerUnion the site is very good.

It shows me perfect results with Backlinks in G,Y&M.

Thanks 4 Sharing.

 

That one doesn't know either...heh. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

 

Wow fun little site.

thx,

tom

 

Your future PR should be easy to estimate without all those fancy tools. For example, I just got one of my PR 5 sites on a PR 6 page of another site. More than likely, at the next Google update, that PR 6 Page will bring my pr 5 site to a PR 6.

If your link is on a PR 7 page of another site, and you PR is 5, more than likely, at the next update, you will go to a 6, and to a 7 if you are already a 6.

 

It's not as simple as that, IMO. If it were that simple, blazemp.com should be about PR9 by now.

 

Wow. blazemp.com is a PR 7? Man your site is impressive. It is not everyday you see a PR 7 site that is not the product of some big company.

What other factors do you think are involved in PR.? Do you think it is just links, or does content play a factor?

 

Thanks.

From what I understand, content does not play a factor. I was just saying I think the system is more complex than that for determining PR. I don't know much more than that.

 

Yea. I just thought it was weird that the older site did not at least say some PR when the new one showed PR7.

 

PR is all about backlinks.

Those tools use the Google API to detect the "RK" or Real Rank of the site.
Usually this "future prediction" or "RK" or Real PageRank, is the most up to date PR using the PR formula. Basically if you have a bunch of good links to PR 5,6,7 sites you might end up with an RK of 5.

However, it is inaccurate, since links change, and RK fluctuates. You're prediction might change a lot. You might have a prediction of 6, and get a PR 3. Or maybe PR 7?

Remember there are still theories floating around and no one knows for sure. There are theories that Time plays an important factor in a website's PR. One theory thinks it's IP's and if different different IP's link to you, your PR rises. Other is Amount of back-links. And the other is, the quality of the back-links.

No one knows for certain.

 

My indicator must be messed up again because that site shows a PR 3 for me.
