How many inbound links from PR4-5 pages would I need to get PR6?

[born2drv]

OK I am sure there are many wise Google'ers here, so I would like to ask a question....

say my site is a "low" PR5 (PR5/10 in toolbar, PR4/8 in directory).

How many more inbound links from PR4-5 pages would I need to get me to a PR6? 10? 30? 50? 100? 1000? I don't need an exact number, just a rough guess. How about making the leap to PR6 to PR7? Again, just a guess.

I would be interested to know what the experts opinion on this is.

Thank you.

Anyone? Please?????? :)

Thanks.

I asked the basically the same question yesterday and my post just dropped off the bottom of the screen and then it was deleted. Apparently nobody knows because I got no answers.

There are plenty of pages on this - you just need to search around.

To answer your question:

without going into too much detail - you probably need about 60 - 250 links to bump it up a notch using the criteria you have given.

One of my PR6 sites has 54 incoming links, almost all of which are PR 4-5. The site in question consists of 5 pages.

Thanks so much for responding, I wasn't around during past discussions, I will search more before I post. Thanks again!

Well, I can say with some degree of certainty that it's probably none.

I had loads of PR5 links and PR4 links but remained PR5 myself. When one site where I have about 6 pages linking to me went to PR8 and the pages my links were on to PR6 I automatically went up to PR6 also.

Hmmm, I thought i had the answer but it just overflowed? Darn!

About 30 to 90 PR5 low links, about 6 to 10 low PR6 links or about 1 low PR7 link might be expected to get you to PR6. This assumes the original PageRank formula (which some of us doubt), a Toolbar that behaves like a log scale of base 6 or ten and approximately that number of links per page.

About 216 to a 1000 low low PR5 links, about 36 to 100 low PR6 links, about 6 to 10 low PR7 links or about 1 low PR8 link might be expected to get you to PR7 (including the links that already got you to PR6).

Again, the assumptions are not particularly real-world so the guesses are not particularly useful I'm afraid.

Helpful post, ciml.

Another way to do your own research is to find some PR6 sites, then find out how many people link into these sites.

I suspect that all guesses are true - 10 - 1000 links! depending on the site.

I am wondering if a site like microsoft.com link to my site will it jump from PR5 to PR6?

I think it will because of the weight of microsoft.com it will pull my site up.

Comment please?

Thanks Receptional, but I really think it's only helpful if the note about it being useless is considered.;) The assumptions just assume too much, I don't even believe that PageRank and the Toolbar work the way we think they do.

I have quite a few PR6 sites with one or two external links, to do the same with a low of low PR links can take a long time.

I asked this question last week, and have since done some research. I found that one good link of higher value really can work wonders for the site being linked to.

For example, I found a few sites (one of them belongs to me and has NO content on it) that had only 1 inbound link total, but it was from a PR5 page. As a result the site was PR3 - quite an amazing jump for a single link.

What does this mean? Nothing, I suppose, but it makes me wonder what a single link from a PR7 can do to a PR5... I'm hoping a PR7 link along with a few other PR6 links can push a PR5 to a PR6. In fact, I'll let everyone know the results as soon as Google begins counting the new links to one of my sites (hopefully this month).
