Page Rank Prediction
As three of the most important factors for determining the credibility for your site are traffic, RSS, and page rank, I am often times wondering what my page rank will be after the update. I was looking around at various sites and found a couple very interesting things. First of all, page rank is not determined solely on the number of links you have. For instance, if you were to make 1,000 starter websites and put your links on them, you still wouldn’t have a great page rank. This is because the page rank is determined on a deeper level.
Another reason why page rank is so important, is because many people looking to advertise want to find a blog or website that has an established readership, and a great way to prove this is with page rank. As RSS and Alexa traffic rankings are easy to track, it is very easy to establish those figures on your site. However, since page rank is updated less frequently it is much harder to determine.
What Have I Found?
I found a site that actually predicts your page rank. Having a current page rank of 0, it is nice to see what it is predicted to be after the update. Check it out.
As you can see, it is predicted that I will be a PR4 after the update. I think that’s very exciting as that is a large jump from being PR0.
This is only a prediction though, based on my backlinks. You can also see that the estimate is using 81.1% accuracy. I’ll take a close to guaranteed PR4 when the update comes along.
Based on all of this, I would think it would be extremely difficult to pass up free exposure, especially from a PR4 website or blog. If you are interested in some free exposure from a PR4 blog, you can check it out here.

I have yet to try that tool. It would be nice to see that stats of correct/incorrect past predictions. Just my 2cents here, but I think going from a PR0 to a PR4 is highly unlikely. I would think you have a better chance of hitting PR3. Your site is very young in Googles eyes, so I doubt you will see that kind of jump.
Best of luck to you!

That may be the case. However, there are blogs that are younger than mine, or just about as “old” and have already established PR5 or 6. I don’t see it as being that unlikely, but you may be correct. Can only hope for the best.
Thanks for your comment.
Wow that is discouraging. My site came up with Insufficient back links and just -’s for predicted pagerank. Any suggestions to improve page rank Jeremy?
There are a lot of different ways to go about increasing PR, and one is to get backlinks from established websites. Unfortunately, I’ve also read that Google may be dropping PR rankings.
