Google Pagerank (PR) – is an index of value of web page used by google search engine. Please note that PR goes to each individual page of web site, but not to the whole website. Every site has pages with different PR values.
PR value is usually treated as site rank, which is not correct – that’s website front page rank. Web page PR value is calculated out of number and rank of linking pages.
To get PR2 your site needs to have :
- 101 linking pages with PR1
- or 18 linking pages with PR2
- or 3 linking pages with PR3
- or 1 linking page with PR4 and up
This is true only in that perfect case if that linking page has only one link going to your site. In real world number of pages has to be higher.

Also you have to count that google may not consider links from pages involved in persistent link exchanges, forums etc. Also links with rel=”nofollow” attribute are not counted. The graph of PR is going from 1 to 10 and has logarithmic progression and not lineal. So you can’t say that website with PR2 is twice more valuable than PR1 website.

Hey,
It was really useful info….Thanks.. I really made me think twice before moving ahead with the link building process.. I have a question for you?
Does the age of the domain fetches a PR? If yes, in how many months, a PR is got for a domain (Considering only age of the domain)?

FourPx, IMHO (as most things in SEO), domain age is important only if you paid 2-3+ years ahead for the domain and if you already have a PR about 3 and pack of back links. If you have clean domain extended for 10 years, I don’t think you’ll get even PR1 orly for this reason alone. Well you can test and tell me if I where wrong
