I was wondering how many links do you need before google will update your sites PR, I'm now on PR1 with 1900 backlinks so when do you think I'll go to PR2?
there is no software that can let you know how many links you are required to upgrade your website PR. It would depend upon the quality of your backlinks, if your website get linked with authority websites then probability of PR upgrade would be much higher.
If you get a good PR4 link you can go even higher than PR2 but you should forget about PR and focus on the content and optimizing for SERPs
The algorithm for Google Page Rank looks at all the links pointing to a particular page, counts them, and then analyzes the pages which house the links.
You can do a search and find all kinds of PR charts that state how many links for each upgrade, but they are meaningless. Stick with strong sites with a medium-high Page Rank, and you'll do fine.
Search Engine Result PageS Optimize your website, reach the top position in SERPs, and you'll get a lot of traffic which is the source of your income. I won't add anything to your first question, except to agree that you should focus more on quality of the backlinks rather than on the quantity.
Ah rite I read on another forum that the more you get the better. Looks like I'm gonna have to clean my back links up now Than for the advice.
Quality Backlink is better than Quantity Backlink. So you need more backlinks with anchor text from dofollow and high PR website. My site only have 200 backlinks and get PR 2.
One of my arcades is PR2 and according to google webmaster tools had 1200 links at the time it was promoted. Now I have built up 61000 (yes 61k) backlinks since then. Im hoping for PR4 atleast as I have several PR4 and PR3 links.
