backlinks are the base of the PR. They would increase your PR. Unique content gives you for some keywords the top position on google...
you dont have to have high pr backlinks to get a high pr...i've been linked by only 50 pr0 pages and recieved a pr 3 from it...there must me some other factor
Concentrate on building a good quality, useful site, with quality content for a specific market. Let the domain mature and don't give up if it doesn't happen within 28 days. Make a few friends online, call a few favours and you'll start getting quality backlinks - which a everyone will tell ya - will lead to good PR.
As the others have stated. Quality backlinks. If you get some good one-way backlinks from site's with PR you can almost garentee your pagerank will be going up
In my experience it varies greatly, less backlinks but from sites with higher PR and you would have a higher PR than a page with more backlinks than yourself
Page content have lower priority than Back links. First need good quality uniqe content and then make back links as much u can . Then you will get good PR. Age is also one of importand factor
He did it by getting 50 backlinks. What is so hard to understand about that? Here's the thing though... he said he had 50 PR0 backlinks, and the next update, he got a PR3. What he didn't state is what the PR of all 50 of those backlinks were after that same update. It only takes a single PR4 to get a PR3. Likewise, you can get a PR6 from a single strong PR7 link. Or if there a lot of outgoing links on the same page, it might take 3-4 PR7 links to wind up with a PR6 page after the next update. You can also get a PR3 from 80 PR2's, again depending on how many outgoing links are on each of those pages as well. Might even be able to do it with 20 of them, if they are all strong enough. The number of backlinks it takes to reach a certain target PageRank will vary depending on how the pages the links are from got their PageRank, and on how many other links there are on each page, but there is a rough chart you can you to get a decent guesstimate on what you need: Now, that assumes that all pages being added up have about 50 links per page, which while in a link building campaign sort of way would be ideal, but is a little bit rarer to find in practice. You need to count all non-nofollowed links on the page, including navigation (same site links), not just how many links go to other sites. Pages with over 120 links on them will contribute very little to your PageRank. You also have to factor in Link Recursion Depth, or how far back the practical limit on on adding up the PageRank sum goes. It is much more valuable to get a PR6 link that got it's PageRank from 500+ PR4 links, than it is to get one from a page that got it's PR6 from a single PR7 link. This is why links closer to the homepage, or closer to pages that have their own PageRank flow coming in, are worth more than deeper, out of the way pages (which is what most link exchange pages tend to be). Also, for all practical purposes, pages that are in the supplemental index won't pass PageRank to you, so you need to watch out for those as well. It's not rocket science, but there are some basic concepts that are very helpful to have an understanding of when trying to build links to your pages. -Michael
Agreed. I've seen a pr 5 site with one backlink from a pr 6. The pr 5 site was not even six months old...
That maybe history. I do not foresee something like that happening in future with Google going crazy finding paid links. I am sure they will cut on genuine links also.
