Hi, A few months ago I found this site which estimated how many inbound links from pagerank X were required to get to a specific pagerank. However, I can't find it anymore... Anyone has an estimate or know where to find these numbers? Grtz
There are a few sites I've seen. Here is one: http://www.services-seo.net/pagerank-calculator/index.php
Umm you have to scroll down and you can see inputs for every PR. Insert number of sites you have from every PR and then submit. Also at the end of page there is a table showing overall eg. how many PR1 links you need to have to archieve PR8
Trust me --don't trust those SEOs -- They can do/write anything for link-bait--which is far from truth. The truth is --nobody can give ya exact calculations (exceptions being Google bots) -- some sites are getting PR6 with only one PR7 links -- some sites are coming down from PR7 to 6 with many PR8/9 links-- because no-body knows how Google algo works. Don't worry about what PR you get-- try to get some quality backlinks ( mind ya --not too many) --Google will reward you.
I'm sure everyone is aware that these things aren't completely accurate. They're simply a tool that can give you an estimate on what page ranks you can get with certain backlinks. You can argue their margin of error, but they are useful to give you a fairly close estimate.
I dont know why you say NOT TO MANY BACKLINKS that is insane, the mobert bot 3 generation looks strait at the amount of back links your site has, dont confuse other members if you have no idea what your taling about!!!
Agree with you, the facts I found recently convinced me the same way. Some links give you way more credit than a bucket of others combined. And one more thing that astonished me is that, some(maybe 1%?) 'nofollow' links DO contribute to your PR, weighing no less than a normal link.
I think their nowday algo has gone way beyond what they originally patented as Stanford. They just keep it secret and don't need to patent it. No one engineer knows for sure how the big picture works, but they each is only responsible for a small functioning part. This is of course, how things would work in a fiction.
the theory goes 18 PR(x) = PR(x) [so 18 PR4 links bring PR4] 1 PR(x) = PR(x-2) [so 1 PR7 link brings PR5]
It is a Google secret and it is based on many factors. I have found that quality counts more than quantity. Try to find good links that are related to your niche and you will gain both traffic and PR. Without traffic, PR means very little, work on building links that matter.
In many place there is a saying that "quality is better than quantity" . Same concept works here also. You have to find good quality backlinks. Quality backlinks that means the links which have some good PR and also the page linking to your site must not link to lot of sites.
It doesn't really have anything to do with the number of links, as much as their quality. Sure, you can guess and estimate - but you'll never be right. Besides, what's important is traffic, not PR.
isnt it calculated by the rank of the link page divided by the number of links on that page? So a pagerank 8 page with 1,000,000 outbound links would be less value than a pagerank 1 page where you are the only link?
