Is there anything wrong with this pagerank diagram?
-
Hey guyz,
I've asked many question today but forgive me :D.
I just want to know is there anything wrong with this diagram http://mygreatname.com/google-pagerank/images/google-pagerank-algorithm-03.gif
Because page 1 has 3 outgoing links but you divided 2 and page 2 has 2 outgoing links but you divided only 1. Or do I miss something?
Thank you. -
I believe the actual calculation comes from Google's internal PR measure, so if you used Toolbar PR, it would be scaled in appropriately. For example, a page with TBPR=4 would only pass 33% more equity than a page with TBPR=3 (if you treat TBPR as linear), whereas it should actually be an order of magnitude higher (we're not sure what power Google uses).
Technically, you can't calculate PR without the entire link-graph, since the maximum values are set from the link graph, and the calculation is iterative. On a small scale, you could just pick a log scale to use and approximate what happens.
I guess I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. Beyond a tutorial view, so many factors are laid on top of PR, that even if you could calculate the true values, they would only tell you a small part of the story.

So you saying that if my page PR is 2 which is logarithmic based 100
And If I link from this page to another page which is PR 0 .
So what my contribution to the PR 0 page is you say 100/2=50. ?
Or just plain logic PR 2 / 1= 2 (Because there is only 1 link ) ? -
Sorry, I'm a little confused - I see dividing by 3 and 2 in the diagram you attached. Are you saying there's somewhere on our site where we're giving the wrong numbers?
Keep in mind that Toolbar PageRank is a 1-10 scale based on a logarithmic transformation of a continuous scale (or at least, one with much more precision). Since PR is probably calculated on that hidden scale, using Toolbar PR in the formula probably doesn't work as intended.

Wrong Page Ranking?!?
I did some research today, one of our keywords is "mobile column lifts." I recently redid a page on our website to target this keyword. When I Google search this keyword I see that a page on our site titled "Reconditioned Mobile Lifts" is ranking for this keyword. I took a look with Moz, our mobile column lifts page ranks 90 for the keyword, and the reconditioned lifts page ranks 73 the keyword. Why is this happening? How can I fix this? https://www.slec.com/mobile-column-lifts/ https://www.slec.com/reconditioned-mobile-lifts/

Wrong page title in Google
Hi there, A while ago we took over the domain www.hoesjes.nl and forwarded it to our website www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl. If you perform a search for the keyword 'hoesjes' in Google then we (www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl) show up on an organic number 1 position. The problem is that the page title isn't correct. Google shows the page title of the website hoesjes.nl we took over and (correctly?) redirected to our domain www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl. Does anybody have any idea how to get rid of this wrong page title in Google?

Wrong canonical URL was specified. How to refresh the index now?
Wrong canonical URL was applied to thousands of pages of a client website, pointing them all to a single non-existing URL. Now Google has de-indexed most of those pages. We have fixed the problem now, but do we get Search engines crawl those pages again and start showing in Search results? I understand that a slow recovery is possible if we don't do anything. Was wondering if we can fast track the recovery... Any pointers? Thanks

What is wrong?
My website ranking fell dawn on 12 may 2013 and Webmaster Tools say we have low-quality pages. After Webmaster Tools masage we update our page content and use Robots.txt file to which pages have low-quality content. Now Google Webmaster Tools, Alexa Audit and MOZ Crawl Diagnostics says we have no duplicate page content, no duplicate page title, no missing meta description tag so this tools say we have no problem. But Google still says we have low-quality problem. We could not find any problem. PLEASE HELP

Is the number at the top of google wrong
If I search a term, any term, Google states at the top 922,000 results (as an example). However, if you click the "O" in google at the bottom you can get the 2nd and 3rd and 4th page of results. Those numbers don't match. The result of my searches would show anywhere from 120-140 results, but the number at the top is in the tens of thousands if not millions. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't these numbers be the same?

Pagerank panda rebound
First, I want to say thank you to the support i've been getting from everyone in this community over the last few months. Im glad to be a part of something that isnt full of flammers and haters... and happy late 4th of july... I implemented canonical tags on a clients website (job board with tons of job postings) and the pagerank has almost immediately rebounded from 2.3 - 4.6. it was a little higher pre-panda, but im happy with the rebound. has anyone had experience on how long it usually takes for the keyword rankings to rebound after changes are made? google recached the site this morning, but im still waiting to see traffic bumps. Thanks!
