Pagerank Question
Just simple question about PR. If side A (PR4) has 1 outbound link, and that link is to site B, and side B has no returning link to side A, and side B has (pr1), than side B with time should get PR5.
Is that right?Last edited by moospot; Jun 30, 2005 at 12:23. Reason: self promotion

No, the page rank algorithm used in the original Google paper is not defined like that. The algorithm used then was: PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn)) and I would assume there are some other changes that have been made.

It'd be too easy to obtain PR10 in such case

you could test this with the PageRank Decoder at Search-This.com
the answer is, if everything is as you say, page B would have a PR value of 3.55.WordPress Plugins: Comment Info Tip

that's because you set a pages PR artificially - it wasn't calculated to a 4 - then ran the calculation. Google doesn't do that, all pages start with a 0 or 0.15 PR then start calculations.
So it's accurate if you start all pages at 0 then create the link structure and go from there.
I talk about this in the FAQ.WordPress Plugins: Comment Info Tip

I think besides this it also matters in which way its been linked for example In BOLD OR BOLD WITH UNDERLINE
