PageRank Transmission

Through backlinks, a highly-weighted page can transmit its high PR to pages on which it’s made reference to. However, the value of those links is dropped since there are more links on the page. The PageRank modeling approach attempts to transfer the site’s PageRank (PR) to the subordinate pages.

PageRank (PR) Calculation

In an effort to make the PageRank calculation feasible, the PageRank spreadsheet was published by Bob Wakfer. The precise calculation of the Google PageRank is yet unknown, but in most cases, it’s generally agreed in the entire industry that this spreadsheet is authentic.

The spreadsheet answers the question: “How many backlinks with PageRank X are required to get PageRank Y? For instance, if you are to reach a PR of 6, three links with PageRank (PR) 7 are needed. To achieve a PageRank of 6 with PR 6 links, 18 external backlinks are needed.

Typically, a certain PageRank (PR) is achieved with just one link from a niche-related site with a PR 2 points higher. For instance, with a PR 5-link, you can reach a PR 3, or a PageRank 4 with a PR 6-link. The lower the PR of the linking sites, the more external backlinks are required to reach a specific PR.

The PageRank calculation is a very composite process that cannot be completely analyzed in a simple spreadsheet. Based on a site’s outgoing links, the spreadsheet may need to be modified. However, as a quick guide, it’s been of immense significance in the SEO world. Google used a green bar to display the PR of a site.
