Some friends told me they got headache when they got stuck to these backlinks subject. What is backlinks? How to get backlinks for our site? Are we really in need of these oh so called backlinks? How many backlinks do we really need to get certain PageRank?
To get things clear we really should discuss them with a real in-depth discussion. And let’s start with the last one. How many backlinks do we really need to get certain PageRank?

To get some directions and the right pointers, as always, i did some digging and I found this useful writing about the exact subject we’re about to discuss, about how many backlinks do we really need to get certain PageRank.
So, let’s skip all the prologues, and get the party started.

How many is it Really?

You may take a look at the table below closely.

Backlink & PageRank Table

How to Read this Table?

Here’s how to read it :

To get a PR [ ... ] You need backlinks from PR [ ... ] = [ ... ] backlinks.

Example : Say, you need to get a PR 5

  • To get a PR [ 5 ] You need backlinks from PR [ 3 ] = [ 555 ] backlinks.
  • To get a PR [ 5 ] You need backlinks from PR [ 6 ] = [ 3 ] backlinks.

It’s that simple.

Alrite, the above table is just a quick vision ( read: not the exact equal calculation ) about backlink calculation algorithm in order to formulate the PageRank update. Well, if you’re an algebra freak, great at numbers, and playin’ around with some mathematical formulas don’t give you headaches, you should invite your self to do this pagerank algorithmic calculation, with backlinks as the main cross-calculated subject.

Ride through to Ian Roger’s site, he wrote a paper about this PageRank algorithm titled The Google Pagerank Algorithm and How It Works.
Feel challenged? Then, wait no more, head straight to Ian’s place to make some proper forensic work yourself.

    Interesting chart. I’m wondering about the overall value of PR though, does it really matter, as long as traffic is sufficient?

  4. Jason says:

    Some advertisers still consider PR value as one important ingredient as the overall site’s rank – which determines how high the conversion would driven from the site. Some webmasters are being ignorance. I say, they ‘re too lazy to get this thing in its proper place. So yeah.. it matters. Alot.
