Using mozRank to estimate Pagerank

    [sorry for yet another pagerank thread!]
    Since Google has not updated PR for ages (at least for 99.99999% of pages), I was wondering how well mozRank values can estimate what PR should be if Google still did updates. I read somewhere PR is usually + or - 0.45 from the mozRank (posted by seomoz employee, at least so he claimed...)

    - is this true?
    - is this mozRank or domain mozRank?
    - how is it rounded?

    So, if a mozRank is 3.25, would the PR probably be between 2.8 and 3.7, or TBPR between 3 and 4 if rounding normally (or 2 to 3 if rounding everything down)?

    I would say that this is so far off the mark that it wouldn't be worth a second thought.

    If they were aware of how things like PR work, they would be at an advantage and their site would have a higher PR than what they currently run at.

    And pagerank is listed out of... 10... exactly. Point proven.

    And before you start with the PR8 is huge... i know that but there are sites out there that are running at PR9... so obviously that is a possibility for their end of year review ;)

    I really wanted to belive these tools are accurate or near accurate, when they predicted one of my site to get PR6. Do you want to know what it got? PR0. So that wasn't even near ;)

    Indeed, Pagerank 8 is huge, and the number of SEO related sites with an 8 could be counted on 1 maybe 2 hands.

    Why care for any rank except search engine rank?

    I dont think mozRank can be use to estimate Pagerank, it is not going to be accepted as Google Pagarank was accepted all over the words.

    Why don't you just use mozRank to estimate website weight and value instead of just Pagerank? Since they both are using their own metric to judge value, which is completely different so I do not think mozRank will help you estimate Google Pagerank anyway.

    That would be great... if Google ever does a major update again... I'm trying to find a replacement. Unless you're one of the lucky few updated since April... I'm certainly not... pagerank is kind of dead

    OK, I give up... PageRank is the be-all and end-all... values from the April update will stand forever... new sites since then need not apply...

    Mozrank isn't a very effective measuring tool

    OK, so to recap... pagerank is dead and there's absolutely nothing that can replace it... the last one to leave the Internet, could ya turn off the lights?
