I think there is a pr glass ceiling for mom and pops at pr7
Yes, I picked the two page scenario because it's easy (and because I know that the decay factor is 1/30 in that case). I think the principle's clear, though, it is possible to collect a little extra PR from internal linking.

collect all the PR you can get and lead it to a selected site(s)and even get a slight increase on pagerank while doing so!
Just pagerank for pagerank purposes though, as for SE-ranking, its only one (but strong) vote that can be motivated (anchortext) by "external" power.
1. 3dflags is a very high PR7 Crames is a very low PR8.
2. 3dflags passes along almost the maximum PR benefit to Crames.
3. Through good use of internal (not inbound, when you say inbound I am thinking external incomming links) linking the high PR7 passed along from 3dflags gets amplified through PR feedback loops to produce a very low PR8 site for Cramer. (Plus may be a few other smallish external links take it over the top to PR8)
Did I get this right?
I'm not certain, but I've emailed with their webmaster before (at least a year ago) and it seemed like a 1 man show.
I'd say that inbound links are links coming in from outside. External links could be coming in or going out.
People normally think of internal as being within a domain, and external as being between domains. I think of it as being within a collection, or outside a collection; the collection can be part of a site, a group of sites or just a page.

Yes Andrey, that sounds like a good summary. Of course this is just one explanation, but for my money it's the credible one.

PR8.
Maybe there could be an affliction called dePRession. :-)
It would appear that the mom and pop sites with a higher PR have been around a while. Does age have to do with PR outside of the fact there is more of a chance to build incoming links?

If you go out link-hunting, you will find that many well established and relatively high Pagerank ranking directories have gone dead. That is they are not maintained anymore. As a latecomer in the web-business, asking for listings in these sites, I have often received polite email responses from the webmaster saying that to his regret the site has been more or less abandoned. I would say a lot of this had to do with the pre-2000 internet hype when everyone started directories, hubs, info-sites etc.
Google could or should discount this effect in the Pagerank algorithm if they wanted to, by saying that any site not changing, or not receiving new links towards - or placing outbound links from it - is discounted in Pagerank.
One way to do that would be to archive the "age of links".

Now the question becomes: Are there any Mom&Pops with PR9?
I would say little chance:

Do not forget, with the logscale applying to the toolbar Pagerank, that would be another factor 6-10 more difficult than achieving the already amazing PR8.
