    Where did you read that PR is cumulative?

    Isn't the PR of an old site supposed to accrue to a new one?

    If you want to achieve PR 4 then you should redirect it to any of the website which possess PR 4 as well.

    (This is not a recommendation but just an answer to your question. It might be fake/blackhat but i'm assuming that you're taking care of that.)

      I really don't get this...

      I've been reading all over the internet about how one can still retain the PR of an old site. It was posited that all that needed to be done is to redirect the old domain to the new one thereby transferring the PR of the old site to the new one. I've always held this impression for a long time now even though i just tried it for the first time.

    PR2 + PR2 = PR2

    Pagerank works based on what pagerank sites link to you.

    If I link to you from my PR7 website now on the homepage, your site will grow to a PR4 or PR5. Go and google it.

        Not entirely.. OK, so let's assume that EVERY site that links to you is PR1..

        To get a PR1, you'd need say 5links.
        To get a PR2, you'd need 200 links.
        To get a PR3, you'd need 1,000 links
        To get a PR10, you'd need 10,000,000 links

        etc

          I want to be clear if you're referring to backlinks as opposed to website redirection that i posited.

          I also want to know if those figures are for real or if you just used them in a scenario.

            It's hard to explain it all to you in one go. I would suggest googling it. If you're redirecting a PR2 domain, you're getting about 85-90% of that pagerank redirected to you. You're probably close to a PR3. Build some more links.

    From above method, your site PR will increase only for someday and also PR will be reduced for other site and this is not a good to increase PR of the site, so focus on generating traffic and quality backlinks

    Those numbers are hypothetical, no one but Google really knows what it takes to reach a certain PR. Additionally it only updates every now and then, so you may not see any changes for a while. PR has very little importance anyway

      No. It is not the average either.

      PR is on a logarithmic scale. I'm not going to give a math lesson here, but that means that a PR 4 might actually be 50 times more powerful than a PR 2. It might be 100 times or 1000 times. Really depends on the exact scale they use, but on a logarithmic scale, 1+1 does not equal 2.

    OKay - Twitter links to ALL my articles and often to my homepage. Twitter is PR10, and my site is PR2, so I'm getting PR12 right?

      Yes. If you can make 50 twitter links per day, you should be around PR18 by next update.

      Don't confuse a complete website redirection with backlinks. I understand your sarcasm nonetheless.
