PR Prediction? - Just use SEOMOZ's Pagestrength

[Gnet]

This is the only tool i use to measure my site's future pr right now.

SEOMoz's Pagestrength Tool (http://www.seomoz.org/page-strength)

This tool uses several aspects of your site's backlink status to confirm its strength
Whatever your Pagestrength is chances are that your pr is the same if its x.5 then just round it to the next highest number for eg.

if its 5.5 - then its a perfect 6

For example, heres mine:

I have sites ranking at 7 for a keyword, and SEOMoz's page strength ranks 1, 2, and 3 all worse. Explain that?

Come on really?

You sure the pr is real?

I have Used Rands tool a lot and I Have to agree with the others and say its spot on!

I don't use any PR prediction tools. I just let the tool bar update when it updates. I know that the actual PR value gets updated all the time.

Using pr predict tools wont work, however I believe the seomoz tool gives the most accurate I have seen.

I use prediction tools just for fun because that's all they are! Anyone who relies on them is just setting themselves up for a let down.

Yea me too,

Its like the Christmas wish list sometimes, well back in the old days when links sales where better :)

I can remember thinking " Oh , I can't wait to sell links" , then I just decided to build for users :)

I am going to have to break you guys in on the PR thing eh?

Exported PR is like the fantasy you'll never live....nothing about it is reality based.

At best it's three months stale at least...perhaps more....

But since its my first post here I'll let Spinal Tap take over and they can explain why chasing PageRank is futile

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?

Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.

Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?

Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.


:D

Don't be a Nigel and thanks for having me!

@ sundaybrew

Thank you for the compliment in reaching out to me.

@Gnet

SeoMoz and Rand produce some of the best tools available online and like Seo.com a great resource for SEO work.

However as far as PageRank....now that selling links for PR is done it truly is a worthless measuring stick.

You need to get your sites word spread in as many ways as possible. The internet is viral and people online find websites in many different ways....

Google is largest in search ads... but Yahoo is larger in display ads ;)

Kids like AOL and Whoville

Sports sites for men.

Shopping iVillage for women.

Find your target market, advertise to them, and then traffic will come....

And you'll never need to worry of the green ingot :)

Peace!

The ranking on google doesn't have anything to do with the PageRank, it's a common misconception, but the PageRank is just the number of backlinks you have not the ranking on google, the ranking on google is called SERPS, which requires SEO to increase your ranking...

We're not talking about PageRank, we're talking about SEOMoz's ranking factors.

I had a 4.5 for a site, does that mean that after the next PR updates, it will be 5? I am kinda suspicious on their prediction part, but the rest of the site is awesome with all the links and details. Great site for SEO. Keeping it as a bookmark!
