PageRank Prediction
Blogging, Internet Entrepreneurs October 16th, 2007Although I do not spend much time considering the PageRank of this blog, it has come to my attention that Google is in the middle of an update. Since this blog is new, it is still at PageRank 0 at this time. Is this going to change sometime in the near future?
By scouring the blogosphere for a few hours this morning, I came across several posts by bloggers who are using the iWebTool Google PageRank Prediction tool. From what I read, this tool is pretty accurate; being correct 9 out of 10 times for the most part.
Since it only takes a few seconds to use this tool, I gave it a whirl. It is showing ChrisBlogging as having a Current PageRank of 0. The predicted PageRank, whenever this happens to occur, is 4; which is quite good for a new blog. The accuracy is shown at 87.9%, and the backlinks number is showing 3,342.
If this tool ends up being accurate, I will be ecstatic. When it comes down to it, a PageRank of 4 is sure to increase search engine traffic, while also giving me more clout when moving forward with future advertising options.
Of course, despite what some webmasters say, tools such as this one have no way of being 100 percent accurate. After all, Google is not going to make it easy for anybody and everybody to accurately predict this type of information.
There is no way of knowing when Google will update the PageRank of this blog. All I do know is that the updates are taking place at this time. Even though I am not too concerned with PageRank, it would be nice to see an increase in time.

iWebTool doesn’t seem to think that my site has enough backlinks. I tried some other very popular blogs (Ms Danielle, Courtney Tuttle, John Cow), but we all showed as having insufficient links
Oh well. The next PageRank update is several months late, so Google might be dropping the whole PR thing or changing it in the near future.
Congrats on your PR4 potential, though

Jason - I have heard of some inaccuracies in the past. It will be interesting to see how this works out!
Jamaipanese - That is awesome! Let me ask you this: as your PR goes up have you noticed an increase in se traffic as well?

Hi Chris
Just bumped into this article
The PageRank update will have no effect on your traffic.
This is becaus Google continously updates PageRank on its own servers… possibly every few days even. So if your blog deserves PR4, it already IS PR4 inside Googles engines and has been for a very long while.
Every few months they publish the PR information that they are using to the rest of the world. The only difference the PR update makes will be to your website monetisation - as you can then charge more to advertisers, sign up to Text Link Ads, get better opps in PayPerPost among other things.
Hope that makes sense
Cheers

I’ve been playing with the PR prediction tool for quite a while but it really is not that accurate. The last time I checked before the last Google update, I got a 5 but when it happened, I stayed at 4 (my mommy blog).
I’ll be happy with a 3 even though my current new blog is predicted for a 4.

Donald - PR is definitely a motivating factor for many. But dont get caught up too much in this. If you provide good content you will succeed no matter what your PR!
