I believe that my portfolio page is evidence of this, I can't think of any other reason why it'd have such a high pagerank (4). I don't think there are any offsite links pointing to it. (It has the same pr as my homepage and service page, both of which have numerous incoming links.)
- srean 16y agoIf your homepage and your portfolio page are on the same site and on the same url directory, then it could be an artifact of the block rank approximation to Pagerank. Since Pagerank is an expensive computation, one effective optimization/approximation is to cluster pages into groups and then compute the Pagerank per group. The group-scores are then re-distributed. I am not sure whether this is what is going on, but it is a possibility.
- nfriedly 16y agoYou might be right. Checking now, every page I have at that top-level directory is either not ranked (effectively 0) or also a 4. Edit: just found one that is a 3, but it has a trailing slash while the others don't (so it might be considered a directory and computed seperately.) It also just occurred to me that my xml sitemap assigns a priority to each page, and the ones with a PR of 4 are the ones with a 0.8 priority or higher. There's another top-level page with a 0.5, but it has a trailing slash, and it's a wordpress blog so it has it's own sitemap. So I think that 4 might be independently calculated.
- srean 16y ago+1 Thanks for digging up on this. It is something that I have interest in.
- nfriedly 16y agoMy pleasure. Not trying to toot my own horn, but you might find the bookmarklett on this page useful, it certainly made things much easier for me: http://nfriedly.com/pagerank http://nfriedly.com/pagerank
