Pagerank Algo! Simply 11 classes?

pagerank is only a simple logarhytmical algo

[MOOSBerlin]

Sorry for my poor english, but could it be, that pagerank is only a simple logarhytmical algo for the classification of the over 2 billions pages/sites in the Web in to 11 classes (0 and 1-10)?
For example:
2.471.658.428 sites/pages in the web and the factor is 7.5
that means
- PR10: 8 sites (really 7.5)
- PR9: 53 sites (7.5x7.5)
- PR8: 368 sites (7.5x7.5x7.5)
- PR7: 2.573 sites (7.5x7.5x7.5x7.5)
- PR6: 18.008 sites (and so on)
- PR5: 126.053 sites
- PR4: 882.368 sites
- PR3: 6.176.573 sites
- PR2: 43.236.008 sites
- PR1: 302.652.053 sites
- PR0: 2.118.564.368 sites
That also means:
- PR9 and higher: 60 sites
- PR8 and higher: 428 sites
- PR7 and higher: 3.000 sites
- PR6 and higher: 21.008 sites
- PR5 and higher: 147.060 sites
- PR4 and higher: 1.029.428 sites
- PR3 and higher: 7.206.000 sites
- PR2 and higher: 50.442.008 sites
- PR1 and higher: 353.094.060 sites
- PR0 and higher: 2.471.658.428 sites
any ideas?

Thanks for the help in msg#28 Markus.

I’ve got a couple more questions about the paper Markus referenced in msg#11 if anybody is interested in looking into the matter:

I was wondering about the constants 8*10^-14 and 3*10^-15 used in Figures 3 and 6 respectively. I am wondering what the corresponding constant would be for say a 2.5 billion page index. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Also, I was wondering how difficult it would be to get the raw PageRank data used to generate Figure 6. It appears that it is available to the public. I believe I can pay $500 in administrative expenses to get the entire WT10g database but I am really only interested in the PageRank values and I can’t justify spending $500 on my PageRank habit. I am just wondering if anybody has any connections who wouldn't mind contributing 1.69 million numbers towards webmasterworld research purposes.

A lot of people say, that Page Rank getting Stricter. I also think so, because google has new in the index a lot of dynamic pages (like GG said). Now the PR distributes to more pages, and some of this new pages also have get high PR. Therefore other pages lost PR!
