			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent post on Digital Point prompted me to write this short article on how to estimate the number and strength of links required for a given PageRank:</p>
<blockquote>
<div style="font-style: italic;">How can i get better page rank of my website. How should I put links in my website to get better page rank. Kindly suggest?</div>
</blockquote>
<p>PageRank is determined by the quantity and quality of the links to your website. As a vaguely general rule each Rank is at least 10x harder to reach (and also 10 more valuable) than the one below.</p>
<p>For example, it generally takes at least 10 PR 3 links to equate to the value of one PR 4, sometimes more. Further, each of those PR 3s is on average worth at least 10 PR 2 links.</p>
<p>Please note that PageRank isn&#8217;t the same as the actual search engine rankings. Even a  PageRank 10 site such as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.adobe.com/" target="_blank">http://www.adobe.com/</a> will only rank well for relevant (in Google&#8217;s eye&#8217;s) phrases.</p>
<p>As such, a high PR alone is no guarantee of a ranking well for any given keyword, the site also has to be optimised for it, and ideally the link&#8217;s to it should have relevant keyword in their anchor text.</p>
<p>As a general rule, a pages PageRank is equal to or a level below its top tier of links.</p>
<p>So, for example, a site with say:</p>
<p>5      x PR5 links<br />
22    x PR 4 links<br />
44    x PR 3 links<br />
100  x PR 2 links<br />
350  x PR 1 links<br />
950  x PR 0 links<br />
1000 x unranked links</p>
<p>Would probably be a PR 4 site, bordering on PR 5. Adding a few PR 6 links, plus a few more PR 5s would probably bring the site up to a PR of 5.</p>
<p>On the other hand, it would probably take over a dozen PR 5 links to bring the page up to PR with any from PR 6 pages, but even hundreds of links PR 4 links, or thousands of links from PR 0-3 sites might make no difference.</p>
<p>This is because as per my earlier rule of thumb, all other things being equal, each PR 6 link is worth approximately as much as around 100 PR 4s.</p>
