SEO Files > From PageRank to Alexa Rank

schestowitz.comhttp://schestowitz.com/Weblog [schestowitz.com] It appears as though Google removed PageRank from the public. No official announcement has been made though.

For this reason, both the PageRank scale and Alexa'sgraphs are logarithmic. Up until mid-2003, the 0 to 10 PageRankscale appeared to have a log base that averaged between 4 and 6.This meant that you needed about five times the number of links toincrease your PageRank by one digit, if everything else was equal.But since 2003, it has become clear that high PageRank pages nowhave amazing power to confer PageRank on others. Today it seemsthat with only a few links from pages that average, let's say, aPageRank of 7, the target page can already expect a PageRank of 6.
