How many backlinks need to get certain PageRank?
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.

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.
Thanks to Djarot of Djarot Studio for answering my request to make the english version of the above Backlink & PageRank table.
You did awesome buddy!

Right, many people are trying hard to get PR3. Even not treating this table
very seriously and assuming about even 50% mistake please let
someone explain me one thing. How I having nearly NO BACKLINKS at all for my
personal page http://www.nasadowski.com have PR3?
@ [ Webdesigner ] Well.. actually, yours got some. I did a quick check on your site, and it has a PR5 backlink. As the table above shows us you need only 1(one) PR5 backlink to get a PR3. I ‘m not sure yours will gonna be PR3 by the next PR update ( rumors said this end of July) since your PR5 backlink has a nofollow attribute now. You need to consider to get other backlinks just to keep things in the same spot by the time google updated the PR.

Your getting a ton of spam on your website, you might want to consider approving comments
Actually, I did. I do a manual review for each.
Thanks for the heads up anyway
hmmm…mb its true..
Sorry Jason, it’s regarding your reply to my post above.
Could you tell me how did you check that I have link on website with PR5?
ps. you were right, my PR went down from 3 to 2.
What’s up buddy, nice to see you coming by.
Anway, i did a quick check for your site on linkdiagnosis.com. I repeat, a quick check. That time, just need to let you know that a website with a valid PR will be impossible if it has a zero backlink. It must be got some. Link diagnosis shows only 1 backlink per domain domain or the most important link they thought per domain. This place wont show you the whole backlinks that your site have. That’s why I used the word: a quick check. Just to give us idea, how much is it? And from what PR is it. It shows us also, what’s the link attribute, is it nofollow or not.
To do a complete check, to get to know the real backlinks that have been recorded by most search engine, you can take a look other tools, at Djarot Studios blog. He wrote this 7 Ultimate Backlink Tools. Web based or windows based. You can choose which one work best for you.
Alrite, thanks for stopping by.
i think i may give this tabe a try and search for ways to get a pagerank
I’ve always seen this chart floating around but I never knew it was really accurate thanks.
I Think no one knows the google’s criteria on how they calculate Pagerank outsider can only guessing
Uh huh, as i said above it’s a quick vision ( read: not the exact equal calculation ) about backlink calculation algorithm in order to formulate the PageRank update. Mostly it’s based on field experiences and proven experiments. The closest calculation point view is well explained at Ian Roger ’s site.
Thanks for stopping by
interesting concept, will have to experiment
Thank you so much for the pagerank chart.I was searching a lot on google to get this type of info.Really it helped me a lot
Yeah, sure. That’s why I wrote it in the 1st place. I found it useful, so there might ones like me who might find it useful too.

Very interesting to see pagerank broken down into a table like that. Now I just need to find a one way link from a pagrank 9 site…Probably not going to happen anytime soon.
our website adailydeals . com is good for coupons and deals.
how can we get good PR
[ Shally ], All backlinks are calculated everyday. It means, Your pagerank is accumulated daily. The more you get quality backlink, the higher your site will raised up. It’s just a matter of is it enough to be classified as a certain pagerank.
[ Aditya Dubey ] Likewise.
[ Justin Wright ] It could be, if buying one is an option for you.
[ imd ] find as many quality backlink as you can. Your pr will up for sure.

You got it Patrick. 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.
Thanks
Hey Jason,
Thanks for the PR table, I was just trying to see how many links I needed to get a PR2-3, hopefully this is relatively accurate
I ‘m not gonna say it’s accurate, as i ‘ve mentioned almost everywhere, use it as a quick view only. But in my simple calculation, using some backlink tools I’ve used, this table is pretty useful to draw us a vision - where our next pitstop is - for a targeted PR.
Uh huh, glad if you guys find it useful. Likewise buddy..
Uhh….my struggle more long from my thinking. Thank you very much for your information.
Very good site! I like it! Thanks!
Thanks for the PR table. I got about 10.000 links ,but mostly PR0. About 20 links got PR 2 or PR3
Yeah, great table. Very useful. Thanks.
Good luck and happy New Year.

Interesting chart. I’m wondering about the overall value of PR though, does it really matter, as long as traffic is sufficient?
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.
Thanks for the chart. Now i trying so hard to get better page rank on google.
although its not exact, still really nice article been looking for that some time for my sites.

Well, based on that table, you need 3 backlinks (or more) from PR2 or 18 backlinks (or more) from PR1. Or the longest milestone, 101 backlinks (or more) from PR0.
Goodluck.
