Infinite Pagerank Dilemma
-
Hey MOZ fans,
I have a exciting question for you today.
http://i.imgur.com/dl0r9s1.png
I try to visualize but let me explain too.In the pagerank algorithm, as you know the pagerank flows to the links **no matter they are internal or external. **And the link juice that pass can be found by pagerank of the site, times %85 divided by total outlinks ( no matter they are nofollow attribitu or not.)
Everything is okay here now. But what would be if it would be in the as image below.http://i.imgur.com/dl0r9s1.png
Does it also become a loop and, each of the page makes their pagerank 10?
Thanks for your help.

Even though I don't get it yet, I'm so proud of getting answer from Rand Fishkin !!
Thanks Rand and all of you guyz. -
The math doesn't work out here either, because each page is only assigned an extremely tiny amount of PR initially, and the damping factor will make it such that you're only passing some lesser quantity to the linked page. That, combined with the fact that PageRank's iterations end after a certain number of runs (at one point, I think it was ~10 iterations), and you'll see that looping PR like you've shown doesn't work out.

I would say a loop doesn't work, or just about every site would be a pr 10 site.

PageRank from 5 to N/A
Hi there, I do SEO for .. and it's a great site with all very valuable (and unique) information and resources. It was previously a PageRank 5 but recently (in the past week) it has gone to PR N/A across the entire website. The website is still being indexed in Google and our rankings are still the same. And although I'm aware PageRank means very little these days, I'm a little concerned this may be the start for a decrease in rankings due to something being wrong on the website. Have other people seen this? Would love some input in case you see something that I'm not or what may be causing the issue. Thank you for you time.

Its a bad idea to do a 301 to the home page of the site on all 404 pages as a way of pagerank recovery? If so, why? Thanks,

Pagerank and 301s
Hi all For various reasons some of our pages were renamed from: http://www.meresverige.dk/rejser/malmoe to: http://www.meresverige.dk/rejser/malmo We have made proper 301 redirects and also updated sitemap.xml accordingly. The change was done about 5th of September. The content on the pages remain identical. This page, and all pages below it in the structure now get very low or no page-rank at all. Much lower than it was before the name change. Any ideas to how long, if ever, it will take for Google to transfer the page-rank from the old page? Any suggestions to what we can do to make the process faster?

Why does my site have a PageRank of 0?
My site (www.onemedical.com) has a PageRank of 0, and I can't figure out why. We did a major site update about a year ago, and moved the site from .md to .com about 9 months ago. We are crawled by Google and rank on the first page for many of our top keywords. We have a MozRank of 4.59. I figured this is something that would just take time to work out of the system, but nothing seems to change while we patiently wait. One more thing to note - when a user comes to the homepage (city selector) and selects their region they will then be cookied and directed to their relevant city site on subsequent visits. But even our city-specific pages (ie www.onemedical.com/sf) have pageranks of 0. My management team keeps asking me about this and I suspect there is something silly that we keep overlooking...but for the life of me, can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

My site is live 6 months but still has no PageRank?
I launched my site back in November and in the last 6 months have been pretty stoked about some of the links we've received from some .edu 's and some other big sites.... but I still don't register any PageRank. Is this normal or have I made some fatal flaw that is killing me in the eyes of google? Thanks Brian Clapp Founder, SportsTVJobs.com
