How much time before you get a decent PR?

[marketraise001]

The Page Rank Of A Website depends solely on your inbound links.The PageRank of a website is calculated with the help of the following equation:

PR(A)=(1-d)+(PR OF LINK PAGE 1*D/NO OF LINKS IN PAGE1)+ (PR OF LINK PAGE 2*D/NO OF LINKS IN PAGE2)+.....+(PR OF LINK PAGE P*D/NO OF LINKS IN PAGE P).

Where A,is your website
D is a damping factor =0.85
link page 1,2...,P are the pages that has a link pointing to your website and can be found out by conducting a search on Google with link: www. name of website.com.

That is not correct. It depends on the subject of the site Plus inbound links.

To get a PR 4 page for "Mexia Real Estate"(the town where anna nicole smith is from) would only take 200 proper links. But for Houston Real estate it will take 2 to 5 k inbound links.

So, if you can reach PR 4 for one phrase, by what you have stated, you should be able to get PR 4 for any site with 200 links, and that is 100 % false.

The title and content(what the site is about) has a major effect on how many links are needed to get to any specific PR for a page. and you also stated that it is the PR of the website, but this is a broad statement also as each page is assigned it's own PR.

The numbers of inbound and outbound links on any given page also affects the pr as well as the PR of the page the link comes from. The title of the page the link comes from and the content of the page the link comes from.

And there are numerous other factors involved, too many to cover right here.

Your link acquisition should be as natural as possible. Do not acquire links in a sudden burst, but space them over time. Get links from different sources, some from directories, from forums, from Press releases, articles, social networking etc. Also link out to authority sites in your niche.

Yeah exactly. I found it rather strange how someone comes in and writes a black and white mathematical formula for PR!

Google are a bit more on the ball than that.. mathematical formulas can be manipulated very easily. Google long ago stopped using backlinks as the only factor in PR.

Pr take time, but if your site have lot of content it might affect.

[jcorkern]

The amount of content has nothing to do with PR, what you have in the content, plus links plus title affects the pr.

but the quantity of content has nothing to do with the formula.
