Everyone knows that pagerank (PR) increase is very unpredicatable. It is easy to get PR3. But, to get PR4 we need work on link building equally. We need an enourmous amount of incoming PR juice that increases exponentially to step up each level. But, no one actually knows how to calculate pagerank. It involves many many factors that sums up with page rank. Google might be referring to some real PR value that represent PR1-10 on PR toobar. It can be Base 2, Base 5, Base 10, Base 20, Base 50, Base 100, etc. Let us give an example of Base 10 here.
Real PR —————————–> Toolbar PR
0-9 ———————————> 0
10-99 ——————————-> 1
100-999 —————————–> 2
1,000-9,999 ————————–> 3
10,000-99,999 ————————> 4
100,000-999,999 ———————-> 5
1,000,000-9,999,999 ——————> 6
10,000,000-99,999,999 —————-> 7
100,000,000-999,999,999 ————–> 8
1,000,000,000-9,999,999,999 ———-> 9
10,000,000,000-99,999,999,999+ ——> 10
For example, if a page have PR3 and total outbound links (dofollow and nofollow) are 10 links. Assuming this PR3 page have min real PR value (1,000). Each outbound link will get 100 real PR (1,000 / 10) points added. The real PR value for nofollow links will get flushed away. So, it doesn’t matter how many dofollow/nofollow links a page have, the real PR value divided equally.
One more example of a PR8 page (assuming minimum real PR value is 100,000,000) and this page giving out 100 outgoing links (both dofollow/nofollow). Each outgoing links will carry (100,000,000 / 100) 1,000,000 real PR value. This can get at least PR6 (min 1,000,000 real PR) if we follow this chart.
Of course there are other measurent like content relevancy, anchored keyword, etc involved. Basically, relevant contents tends to give more value to our backlinks. That does not mean that irrelevant links will not give any value. Only, the value of backlink from irrelevant links are not as high as relevant links. In google’s eye, a dofollow backlink is still count as backlink.
This can be a guide to predict next pagerank too. Let’s take for example, Atniz dot com have PR3 now. I’m targeting to get PR4 in next update. Assuming, I’m at min real PR level (1,000 real PR), I need to get 9,000 real PR value in order to get PR4 (10,000 real PR). That is 10 times real PR value there. It means, I need work 10 times more on building backlinks to get one step ahead. Luckily, we have a shortcut to it from high PR dofollow blog commenting service.

Will it be back not sure
I do have good backlinks dofollow
and it was for all the net moste one year.
The Internal Links could be the only reaso
I made that wrong , I remove it all.
change the IPS and the hosting .
most of my websites directpries and for sure
most of theme in the top ranking on the titles
I will never give up my PR WAS 4 and came back to
where I started.
Changing domain could get us started back to zero level if we don’t do proper 301 redirection. You are still doing great at PR4. Wish you good luck for next PR update.
PageRank is totally unpredictable, I agree. If it can be predictable one day, Google will change the rules. No way to understand their algorithm.
Exactly. I think they will do that. That is why they got thousands of people cracking their heads to try out all those new algorithms.
Its true Page Rank un-predictable.
Simply we dont know how Google’s Algorithm calculated
for the back links,nofollow links and dofollow.
Other wise all have good Page Rank.
Is the top ranking helping in the Page Rank ? How
Top ranking in SERP doesn’t help page rank. Top ranking is totally depending on onsite and offsite seo. Page rank is depending on dofollow backlinks from high PR pages.
Page Rank is really un-predictable..
For example,
One of my blogs has around 2500 links coming in going really good in SERPS but page rank is still 3,
It all depends on Google’s Algorithm which they keep changing all the time!
This is a reply to your question, I couldn’t reply in the comment for some reason.
You can get the info right off Matt Cutts blog. He made a video a few months back about page rank and page sculping. He explains it all in there.
Thanks Andrew. I will check the video on Matt’s blog. I have limit the conversation thread to 5, that is the reason it can’t go further. Sorry about that.
How do you get that information? Is it valid? anyway thanks for the information
This is just an assumption based on exponential value. It can give a simpler picture of how PR is calculated for next pagerank update. However, there are other factors like relevancy, backlink TLDs, etc involved.
I think to have google PR is not so hard
but if you have it and for some reasons you lose it .
Do you think its easy to got back ?
How long it will takes you
Any advice for that ?
Well it depends on how you lose it. If you lose it because of your backlink value drops or you give too much pr juice from your site, we can easily get back our PR by doing more high PR dofollow backlink creations.
If the PR loss is due to some penalty from google, like from paid post from PPP. It can take some time as you need to remove or tagged with nofollow all paid post from and paid links from your blog and submit for re-inclusion in google.com/webmaster. We can only wait and pray for our penalty to be removed and PR to reinstated.
yes… pagerank is unpredictable…
thanks for sharing
PR is very undpredictable. Wish google share their secret spice on how PR calculated.
good article.. I agree..for increase PR we need backlink from blog with high pagerank..
Great! I wish you all the best for next PR update.
This is a great explanation but there are a lot of factors aside from inbound and outbound links. As Google said, reputation and relevance are on their algorithm right now which is difficult to predict. But your explanation can be a good estimate of the PR possibilities.
I agree. Relevancy is something not easy to calculate compared to inbound and outbound links. This can be a guidance only.
