New Cat Page Rank

[DavidT]

If a new category has been created and it is 9 straight clicks away from the dmoz main page what google page rank will it be given?--presently it is all-white on the toolbar.

My site just got listed there, only took a month, can tell it was greenbusted.

It depends on the PR of the DMOZ page (and number of outbound links from the cat page) and any other inbound links to your site.

I had a site listed in a PR7 cat with a lot of other sites listed (100 plus) and it recieved a PR4 (with only one other inbound link - a PR4).

Thanks, but I mean the page rank of the dmoz page itself not my site. The page is apparently not in Google's index yet.

DavidT, you may be able to get a clue as to how the new cat will do from the PR of its parent category. It probably won't be great, though.

If that's your best DMOZ shot, I'd definitely get working on some other linkage. Unless for some reason one of the DMOZ parent pages is unusually well-ranked, I'd be surprised if the cat you are in would be any higher than 3.

Looks grim, page above has rank 1, next up 2, although I'm pretty sure they are all new pages/categories. Is my toolbar just guessing? It's odd, the two pages above have no sites listed, just link to one category down.

I do have another shot at it in that a lot of sites in my area have two listings, one in regional like mine and one in Business or Shopping.
