Just curious what others have to say about it:

2 PR7 back links - legit but 5000 OBL
1 PR6 back link - 150 OBL
3 PR5 back links - 6-7 OBL
4 PR5 back links - 20, 50, 100, 300 OBL
25 PR4 back links - mostly around 40-50 OBL
50 PR3 back links - mostly around 20 OBL

And a bunch of PR1/PR2.

Most links come in total from about 20 referring domains, all dofollow with 1 PR5 link from wikipedia as an exception.

Worth $400,-?

And what do you think the true PR would be at this moment? I would say a PR5.

    I dont think its a PR5. PR4 tops. The "big links" have too many OBL to push any significant juice.

      How much link juice we pass when we link from 1 domain to the other, assuming there are no other links on the page? 85% or something.

      Not sure if we have to take other internal links into account as juice leaks through that but also comes back again.

    Since the link on wikipdia would be nofollow, how does PR5 even
    relate to such a link? It passes no PR, so would not even be in the mix
    about PR.

    There would be no PR5 link on wikipedia....

    I gotta say, it looks as if someone just starts threads to spam....cuz
    some of the stuff posted is really inane.

    Asking for a guess of PR is really out there. So, what is the real reason
    for the thread?

      Don't worry the PR5 link is not included in the list.

    I just used this tool:

    http://www.ecreativeim.com/pagerank-...calculator.php

    And put it all in an Excel file and the result is a PR4.8, although we only see round numbers so more likely it's PR5+

    The calculator is based on that each PR is 9 times more strong, so:

    - PR2 is 9 times as strong as a PR1
    - PR3 is 9 times as strong as a PR2
    etc.

    Whether that's true I guess no one knows but at least it's a model that you can use to see how likely it is that a domain has the same PR as advertised after analyzing the links.

    My broker put the domain for sale as a PR6 and that's what shows in the toolbar, so maybe we're off or maybe I don't have a complete picture of all the back links, who shall say, at least he asks a price that you expect to pay for a solid PR5 and it's very close to that based on the (perhaps flawed) math.

    It could easily be that Google uses a different algorithm instead of factor 9, perhaps it starts at factor 3 and the higher up it ends at factor 20, who shall say.

      Dude have you ever heard the expression garbage in garbage out?

      How you think a calculator based on bogus calculations and supposed PR can verify the likeliness of PR being as advertised is beyond me.

      85% is common knowledge
      Whose knowledge? Him?

      Nothing in that statement makes any sense.

      Where did you come up with 85%? When has anyone said or proved it is anything less than 100%?

      Juice leaks out but comes back again? WTF... :confused:

        yes very strange that when juice flows through links that it can flow back through other links

        ROFL

        This thread is exactly what I needed after a long day. I've been laughing constantly through half of it. Anyway I guess what Nik0 might have been referring to is the degrading factor of PR. Of course the 85% is just blind guessing and certainly not any known fact as he is implying.

        That figure comes from the original paper by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page.

          That paper as I recall is over a decade old and no fixed for all time number was given. Even back then it wasn't definite. The whole thing is nonsense. Theres no way you are going to figure out the dampening percentage that Google actually uses today and no way a percentage of a non specific is going to get you to any determination that matters.

            I mostly agree with you - I was merely pointing out where people get that number from.

            There is however a way to get an approximate value for the dampening variable - all you need to do is build a crawler which calculates PR using the original algorithm then tweak your algo until you have a high correlation with Toolbar PR immediately after an update - which is precisely what Moz have done, and they claim a high correlation which means they probably have a reasonable idea of what the dampening factor actually is.

            Of course that assumes there is a universal dampening factor - I suspect Google have the ability to make it dynamic. For example you could change it based on the Trust Flow of a URL - meaning that a URL with a high trust factor could pass on more of it's PR than one with a lower TF.*

            *Disclaimer - that paragraph is just wild speculation on my part.

              That makes sense and is well thought out but it makes a big assumption that I have seen evidence is not the case. Toolbar updates are almost never current to the day of the update. they are like cron data dumps based on a previous measurement pushed out to the tool bar ( a fact confirmed even more by the explanation why PR has not updated - that the "pipeline" is broken). Therefore there is no evidence that even Pr updates are a snapshot of the pagerank at the given time of the update. Its kind of like unemployment and economic data. its compiled and released to the public at a later date. By the time its reported there have been people hired and fired - its a snapshot of the past.

              As for Moz - I like their metrics but they are wildly off on many occasions. They've come up with a decent approximation system but far far from figured out pagerank. In fact for higher PR sites I would not trust Moz without checking trustflow. On the lower end (below PR4) if the links are not over a thousand it stands up pretty good for the most part.

              *Disclaimer - that paragraph is just wild speculation on my part.
              No foul there. The foul is when we start taking these assumed numbers on a secret algo and acting like they are fact and not speculatiuon. My bet is that not even Cutts knows the numbers.

              My results using an Excel sheet based on the numbers of that site I linked to comes out as pretty damn close to SEOmoz's MozRank almost every time.

              So when I analyze domains I will give some more credit to Domain MozRank, at least while pre-filtering.

                Funny how everyone requires scientific evidence when dealing with a number of unknowns and without me making any claims in this thread.

          That's a really old doc. but it's still fun to read. Notice they hinted at personalized SERPs that far back (late 90's).

          We also plan to support user context (like the user's location)



          Lol, they never got this one figured out. Some basic php date code keeps them coming back.

          We must have smart algorithms to decide what old web pages should be recrawled and what new ones should be crawled.

    Sorry. I should have explained myself more clearly. I just knew that this whole thread was garbage and didn't want to take the time.

    Jinx is completely right though.

    Yes, there was a 0.85 dampening factor in the original PR equation. However, they never stated that they specifically used that number. They just said it could be between 0 and 1, and stated that they usually use 0.85. That was over a decade ago though.

    Things have changed so much since then. One thing that the original equation assumed, and that with a little research you can see is clearly no longer the case, is that every link on a page is equal. It used to be that way. If there were 10 links on a page, all 10 received equal weight. There are a lot of things about that which has changed. For example, footer links are clearly devalued. You can also see that the closer to the top of a page a link appears, the more PR it passes.

    Stuff like that has made any approximation of the dampening factor nothing but a wild guess.
