so in the last few months, i have been doing some tests with links and how fast your site comes up on the search for per every link with PR1 to PR6 on a specific key word. So, my results are, getting a single link from a PR3 page, will boost your ranking up by 3 to 4 sites per 3 to 5 days. this is a one way link NOT reciprocal. to get a one way link from a site that is a PR4, gooogle will boost your ranking on that keyword that you use for your anchor by as much as 6 to even an entire page. i have yet to test on PR5 and PR6 pages, but i only assume it will really boost your site up by one to 2 pages, now this test was done one a site that already has a PR3 and around 500 backlinks. Now im not sure if that matters or not, but this test was done and i thought i would share it with you all. any comments please do post.
nice and confirming my test too. btw, you said 500 back links, you count it via webmaster tools or "link" search on google? thanks for sharing.
Thank for the info. Of course those results may be specific to your website. For a less or more competitive niche those position jumps may be less or more. It will also depend on your current ranking. If you are already on page 1 a single link probably won't change your rankings by more than 2 or 3 position.
500 backlinks with quality page with PR seem to make more power . Well I think it should count from webmaster tool.
Sure, the ranking will increase based on the linking page PR, but relevancy plays a huge part as well as outgoing links on the linking page/site.. so many factors to be listed instep to get accurate increasing results. However, link injections might increase the ranking quickly but just for few days or week, then it will drop back down to it's real ranking which is for sure higher than the one before obtaining the last high pr link
Nice info add another one. I was on page 3 but got injected with several PR5 backlinks and currently its up one page. For yahoo its number one. Seems like Yahoo is also caring about the PR system?
