Wondering if anybody else noticed that there seems to be a lot more PR-5 sites this time around?Maybe I am just hanging around a better class neighborhood but it feels like I am running into a lot more PR-5 sites than last month. When I checked back on my link requests it seems that more than half have increased from PR-3 to PR-5 or better.Anyone else seeing this?Ive noticed the same thing. About 75% of my clients are a PR5. I am starting to hate 5.Hmmmm ...Does that mean there is a bug in the algorithm and we'll all fall back next month? Or is this Google's way of getting more PR-4's because no one wants to link with low PR sites?Did this only affect low PR sites? Quote:I like to measure things and see how they change over time....Looking at my link requests from March thru June (so all sites had link pages) It does look like it is harder to move PR the higher you go.100 - PR-3 sites 73 higher, 22 same, 5 fell100 - PR-4 sites 58 higher, 33 same, 7 fell100 - PR-5 sites 29 higher, 64 same, 7 fell 18 - PR-6 sites 4 higher, 14 same, 0 fellBTW ... depending on link quality these are average links required (small sampling)
R-4 from 2 to 30+ linksPR-5 from 25 to 50+ links This gap appears very odd?PR-6 from 150 to 350+ linksThere are plenty of exceptions in *.gov and affiliate sites. It could be the fact that once you get enough PR you start to concentrate on other aspects of ranking.Quote
own with PR5 ! or is it up?Little bit of an update ...Quote:Google caused Pagerank Mania!http://www.webpronews.com/insiderreport ... Mania.htmlI like the future PR tool. is it accurate??It is just a prediction.Some people are saying PR is almost worthless now.I'm not certain.ClareI don't think that's true...it's one of the things that seperates google from other search engines...it's their niche....It may be in a state of devaluation now....but I would bet that they are working on making it better at figuering out what are natural links and which links are purchased or spammy...a couple of more graduations from Stanford and they will have the personel to do it. I would never believe that. They need to improve it, but it is still a very useful tool in ranking sites.
