How some sites who has almost 0 backlinks have pr4 or even bigger?

I was notice some sites have big page rank yet again they dont have almost any backlink.Any idea why is that?

 

1. Because the links you see are not necessarily the ones that are actually there.
2. Because of how PR works. With just one high PR link, you can get a decent PR yourself.

 

Have you checked MSN and yahoo for links?

 

You can get a PR5 from 1 site and your site can get a PR3 or even PR4 and sometimes you can not see the backlinks right away.

 

Google has mentioned that they show a "sampling" of the backlinks, I'm not sure there's even any real rules for it, it may just be a random sampling.

To really check backlinks these days you have to check Yahoo! as someone else mentioned. While it's not true that if Yahoo shows a backlink it is having an effect in the Google algo's but you can bet that Google has also crawled it.

Hmm that will explain the thing.As you can see,it a site ziplinq.hr,that is site of my cousin and he is main representive of ziplinq company for Croatia.Yet again i have link on one pr7 site and still i am pr0.

 

if you have a PR0 but have incoming links, it's likely because there hasn't been a PR update since you acquired the link.

the other possibility is that the link it's crawlable for some reason, but my money's on the former.

 

Just one link from a PR 5 page can get PR 4 for that site

 

So if yo uhave 1 link from a PR 7, would that automatically drag you to PR 6?

 

PR doesnt mean placement...it means "Page Rank" which really seems to becoming a social status.

Get your positioning and be stoked! Look at your Page Rank as a bonus

 

I don't think so.. as PR 6 is way harder to achieve compare to PR 5

 

Well i do have one link on pr7 and still i am pr0.

 

Maybe you go the link after July when the PR was calculated.

 

I once have a site that has no index page and got a PR 4.

It is a subdomain, I believe it got its PR from its main domain, or at least it affected it by a bit as I am 100 % no one will link to that sub-domain but in the latest Google update. It is back to zero.

 

PR originally corresponded directly to rankings, now it is designed to throw noobies off the track. hah ha!

 

Hehe. Well ok, what to professionals and in between have to go on? It is still a decent measure for something I think.
