How Accurate Are Page Rank Predictors?


How accurate are Page Rank predictors? Whenever you’ve used them in the past have their predictions proven to be correct? I’ve just used one for the first time and it said that:

I’m trying not to get my hopes up to much, but it’ll be brilliant if I finally get a Page Rank increase as I’ve been stuck on 5 for 18 months, which has been annoying as I got PR5 within 6 months and PR4 within 1. If it is true, then my strategy of buying some Text Link Ads, releasing my theme, adding my sites to directories, starting my own directory and posting frequently again seems to have paid off.

Text Link Ads

I’m just as excited about the forum and the directory going up to PR6. A PR6 directory should attract more listings which will hopefully increase the amount of traffic going through it, and a PR6 forum will help me sell more text-links. I’ve already managed to sell 5 text links on the forum even without it having a Page Rank. It will also vindicate my decision to use sub-directories rather than sub-domains for their urls, so that they would benefit fully from the main domains Page Rank.

Does anyone know when the next Google Page Rank update is due? Anyone else expecting or hoping for a Page Rank increase?

    My site (which had been fairly static for the past few years) had been PR1, since the start of March I’ve been blogging and it’s now estimated at PR4 which wouldn’t be a bad increase in 3 weeks (i’m guessing?).

    I guess I’ll see how accurate the estimate is in the coming weeks…

    Wow, start of April, very cool. thanks.

    I actually clicked on a link from another site a few days ago to go to our site, and it opened a new window to OUR site, and the Google toolbar showed PR7. Haven’t seen it since, but I’ve seen those little flukes trickle in before when a new PR is about to be set. so i took a screenshot and did a happy dance. :-)

    Yeah, we both work from our home in North Dallas. Hasn’t always been this way (I had a couple businesses before, the irony being that 2 of them were consulting businesses, meaning I was out of the house a lot).

    At the moment I have my laptop on the patio table in our backyard - very beautiful, green, inspiring. ahh, the sounds of nature, squirrels, birds, dogs occasionally barking, - and the folks next door having a new roof put on. hammer. yell. hammer. hammer. yell. :-)

    We get up pretty early (4:30 or so, gradually going back to 4a) and meditate 2 or 3 times a day, schedule permitting (usually right after a mean - that’s dead time anyway). I find it helps us stay sharp and operate at peak potential more than just in the mornings. And we do a 1 hour walk around the neighborhood with our 2 doggies in the mornings.

    *** By the way, check out http://www.netscape.com. We made the homepage and are now 10th down from the top for our article “Break Up and Divorce - Should You Condemn Yourself to a Bad Relationship for Life Because of Religion and Guilt?”. It’s not 1st place, but I’ll take it. :-)

    Have an awesome day!
    Dan
