It depends on the weight of the existing backlinks that you have too. If wordpress.org links to your blog, inspite of it being a single link will see you through a PR5 pretty soon.</description>

		<description>I have no idea how they do it, but it is confusing to me too. I have a broad coverage of different topics, small number of linkbacks, but I have held a PR3 for the past six months.

&quot;&lt;em&gt;like tossing a coin or something&lt;/em&gt;&quot;
a weighted, ten-sided coin.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m just wondering if backlinks are not as important as thought to be. One of my sites went from a PR0 to PR3 in this update with barely any backlinks. Maybe Google has a new method of determining page ranks...like tossing a coin or something.</description>

		<description>that&#039;s amazing nate, considering the short period og your blogging ...

mine didn&#039;t change a bit from the earlier PR=4 since 4 months ago ... i guess backlinks are one of the most important factors to get a higher PR - forget about the tons of original postings you did ... it&#039;s not important ...

i think i asked you this before, but will you be working on projects to have wordpress themes designed for blogger platform? i would love to have one as the blogger&#039;s template are generally sucks ...

i guess i should spend more time marketing my blog-site and building networking instead on concentrating on contents alone ...

cheers ...</description>

		<description>Hey Martin, it&#039;s not so much of a competition, as it is a community building and &quot;thanking my commentators&quot; project. Both winners will essentially be randomly chosen.</description>

		<description>I am up to a PageRank of 4 which I am happy with as I have only been blogging for 2 months. On a separate note, what kind of competition are you planning on running? I am always a critic when it comes to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.communityspark.com/forum-competitions-are-a-bad-idea/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;offering incentives&lt;/a&gt; for people to get involved in a community.</description>

		<description>I had a few of my sites go down in pr, and a new website go up to pr2 (don&#039;t know how).  I&#039;m aiming to get my design site up to a pr 5 or 6 on the next update.  If you don&#039;t mind for one of your next posts... I have some questions about your direct mailing campaign.  Where did you get the 2000 mailing addresses, and how are you mailing them (are you going to be a stamp on each one)?  This is just for my curiousity, I&#039;ve considered doing a mailing campaign however I wasn&#039;t sure how to work it all out.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>&quot;Are all of you happy with your new PageRank?&quot;
To be honest, as much as I would like a higher rank, I don&#039;t care that much about it. Perhaps it is because I have no intent on making money, just be heard.

Anyhow, wordpress templates are a great way to go. I have been thinking about that, to help recycle some of my past ideas, but the only problem I have right now is that I have no place to host them. I can&#039;t wait to see them.</description>

		<description>Yep all very interesting. They must be some pretty poor backlinks ;)  As &quot;coopreme internet marketing&quot; points out though there&#039;s a lot to the PR system, and there&#039;s a lot of factors which make different sites rank differently. If I recall correctly there&#039;s a patent for it so it would probably be possible to look at the patent and get a better idea of how it works, but it&#039;s probably full of mathematical mumbo jumbo that wouldn&#039;t make a lot of sense to non phd maths people...</description>

		<description>Hey Chris, yeah that makes sense. What is weird is the scale - one guy has like 200 backlinks, the other 2000 and got a lower PR.</description>

		<description>&quot;However happy I am with my PageRank, it appears Google&#039;s PageRank logic is not entirely sound. A few well-known bloggers did not receive the PageRank they were expecting. For example, one well-known blogger who has been blogging almost as long as me and has just as many backlinks, only received a PR 3. On the other hand, another friend of mine who doesnâ€™t have one-tenth the backlinks and hasn&#039;t posted to his blog in almost 2 months received a PR 4. Go figure.&quot;

That&#039;s because not all backlinks are equal. 10 backlinks from PR5 sites are a lot better than 10 backlinks from a PR4 site, for example.</description>
