PageRank will become if you obtain a link from a high-PageRank site, and also how many links of which type you need to move up one level of PageRank.

One flaw in that analysis is, no one knows how much PageRank the “average” page on the web has; it’s definitely somewhere between toolbar “N/A” (which I consider to be absolute zero although it can also mean “Google is not telling”), toolbar “0″ (which I consider to be fractional anywhere between zero and one), and toolbar “1″ somewhere.
So the chart in that posting is only useful for rough purposes when planning out a general linking campaign; it can’t be used to do exact situational calculations. We’ll make an attempt at doing so here.
Anecdotal Situations I’ve Observed
1.) (As noted above) a new PR7 site whose links are almost exclusively from a site-wide link on a PR9 website.
2.) A PR5 website I know of obtained a home page link from a PR8 website and almost immediately moved up to became a PR6 website itself.
3.) A website with almost no links obtained a site-wide link from the PR6 website and became a PR4 website almost overnight.



Why Getting a PR8 Site-wide Link is Like Getting a Single PR9 Link
You’ve probably noticed that if you have a PageRank 6 website, the next level of pages down on the site are probably PageRank 5, and the next level down from that are PageRank 4, and so on. This is not always the case but it’s generally the case. So when you obtain a site-wide link from a PR6 website, you’re essentially obtaining one PR6 link, maybe 10 or 11 PR5 links, and 50 PR4 links (perhaps).
If each level is worth roughly 1/5 of the previous, then a site-wide PR6 link is equivalent to:
1 PR6 link (the home page) + 10 2nd-level PR5 links (=2 PR6) + 50 third-level PR4 links (= 10PR5 = 2 PR6) = 5 PR6 Links = 1 PR7 link.
Looking at the anecdotal cases, it does seem to me that obtaining a site-wide link is akin to obtaining a home page link from a site that is one PageRank level higher.

1.The Value, in PageRank, of Obtaining a Single Link
Clearly, that depends on your existing PageRank, and how much PageRank you will get from the target of a linking request. Using the anecdotal evidence above, I created the following table and calibrated it against those individual situations; you can look up what your pages existing toolbar PageRank is, and then look over and see what the pages PageRank should be after obtaining a link from various other pages.

Table 1 – Estimated PageRank After Obtaining a Link
So, for instance, if you have a PageRank 3 page, and you get a PageRank 3, 4, or 5 link, don’t expect to see anything happen, but if you get a PageRank 6 link, you can expect much of the time to move up to PageRank 4 (see – row 3 represents a starting PageRank of 3 – the “PR 6 Link” column represents a PageRank 6 link, and their intersection is a 4 which means, you will end up with a PageRank of 4 after obtaining the link.)
Remember, this methodology is imperfect, and Google’s toolbar PageRank only reports integers – you could appear to be a PageRank 3 page, but really be a 3.99, and one PageRank 2 link might put you over the edge. Also, how much PageRank “flows” depends on how many links are on the source page.
But what you see in the table is typical based on my experience. You can see that for our anecdotal PR5 site that recieved a PR8 link, that is indeed enough to push it into PR6 status.
If what you’re looking at is a potential sitewide link, simply add one (i.e. the effect of a site-wide link, as we’ve shown above, is roughly the same as the effect of a single link from a site of the next higher PR level – so if it’s a site-wide link from a PR7 site, look in the PR8 column for what your final PageRank will be).
You can see from the table that these predictions aren’t too interesting unless you’re talking about high-PR links; if you have any anecdotal evidence of your own either supporting or refuting this table, please comment below.
2.How Many Links You Need to Move Up One PageRank Level
Remember, in the article referenced above, the conclusion was that each toolbar PageRank level is roughly 5.14 times harder to reach.
Based on that assumption, and the table above, I generated Table 2, which does not show how many links it will take to go from zero links, but instead, how many links will it take you to *move up* one PageRank level. I often find that with most clients, their overall site needs to move up either one or two PageRank levels; this table can be used to estimate either case (to estimate two moves, just use it twice):

Table 2 - How Many Links You Need, on Average, To Move Up One PageRank Level
The left column represents a page’s starting PageRank; the table represents how many links of which type are required to move up at least one level. If a PR1 page obtains a PR10 link, obviously it will move up a lot more than one level, but you’ll only see a one in this table for that value, since that’s all it takes for the motion to occur.
So for instance, a PR3 link needs 5 PR4 links in order to become a PR4 link. Each level requires 5 times as many since their value is 5 times less.
An astute observer will note that there is one exception – there is a diagonal of “3″‘s in the table. These were originally “1″‘s based on my anecdotal evidence, but represent the borderline case where you may be a 5.01 or a 5.99 – by having “3″‘s in the table in those spots, I’m splitting the difference and it should be reasonably correct most of the time. Yes, it’s cheating a bit but the borderline cases really required it.
3.Increase PageRank From N/A to Up with Website have pagerank N/A,0,1

If you take the number of links at each level and accumulate them for the “PR0″ and “PR1″ columns, you can see how many “PR0″ or “PR1″ links it will take *in total* to reach each level from nothing (i.e. for PR3 for instance, you just add up how many it took to reach each previous level). Table 3 shows this:

Table 3 - The PR 0 and PR 1 Columns Represent Upper and Lower Bounds for How Many "Average" Links Are Required


This is a pretty good check and is enough to convince me that the two tables above have good predictive value.
Full disclosure: if the average page on the web instead has a PageRank somewhere between “PR N/A” and “PR 0″, then this argument completely breaks down and these columns are probably off by at least a factor of 5. Ultimately, I think the only way we can gauge the accuracy of the tables above is by people actually using them and reporting their results.
Conclusion
Of course, links have more value than simply PageRank – anchor text is highly valuable in and of itself, and if there’s any reality to the concepts of “trust” and “authority”, then there are many factors that need to be taken into account when planning linking campaigns.
From a pure PageRank perspective, these tables are very rough tools, but they have at least been calibrated against some real-world data. Go ahead and try them out and give some feedback below; perhaps they can be improved, or maybe certain aspects are *way* off – please share any findings.
As always, your mileage will vary – you might plan out a linking campaign and assume that X number of a certain type of link will get you to PageRank Y, and then it turns out in the real world it doesn’t, and your boss or client will then be disappointed, so *use these tables at your own risk*.

thanks mate

Really nice tip. Will implement it on my sites

Awesome product Thank you
