PageRank Predictions

[espmartin]

I understand that PR is not what should drive a webmaster, but I think with
the latest Google PR updates should come some fun out of it

Here's what a few of my sites are "predicted" to be:
PageRank Prediction - Predict Page Rank Predictor
Funny thing is, that first site was a PR6, now a PR5, and iWebTool says it'll be
a PR6 again

And again, I understand that predictions like this are more entertainment than
anything else, but...

last time i predict my one blog this tools show insufficient links, and that blog got pr5 in last update.

especially with this useless tool which even functioning only 30% of the time...

It did predict correctly what my current PR is way back about 3 months ago. I just didn't
want to believe it

Its never predicted anything accurately for me

It gives you a rough idea of what you will get but it's definetly not accurate

I just tried mine again.... it's predicting PR5, which is nice

It'll be interesting to see whether it's anywhere near accurate

This case with PR predictions..ummm, quite difficult to explain. For me, that period when I was checking the PR with this kind of tools is long gone. The first reason is that I do not care that much about PR ( allthough the recent updates made it interesting ) and the second reason is that I do not know how PR can make your site reputable these days when its such a common element. More, the concept of the site, the idea for the base of the site is the factor that makes you a real webmaster. PR prediction tools are a nice way of losing few minutes a day dreaming.

But please bare in mind that dreaming is the factor that allows you to have hopes and to want to finish a project. If the tool shows you a PR 4, you will work more to get it even higher and that, from my point of view, is benefic.

PR prediction tools are a nice way of losing few minutes a day dreaming.

A nice way of putting it - I agree with that philosophy... it's no more than a bit of fun and some encouragement

Mars Guitars put it very succinctly, you probably can do a better job guessing your own PR based on the link you are building than the PR prediction tool
