Are there any accurate Google PageRank Prediction tools available?
Since I have started this blog I was very curious to see what Google PageRank (PR) will it get. Since this domain was never used for any web content before
(I have only used it for email), it had no PR, or PR0… So I have tested various tools to get an idea of what will be the PR once assigned.
Basically a search for “future page rank” on google will return over 95M results…
and I have tested many of them. Since yesterday I noticed google has assigned a PR to my site (PR6 btw) after 2 months since the site was launched, I though some peoples might find interesting how the various tools performed to predict the PR for me.
I see these tools into two types of categories:
- tools that will query various google IPs and try to find a difference in PR results during the update. This is not a real prediction in my opinion and are useful only during the updates of google’s PR database.
Example of such tools:
http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/future-pagerank/
http://www.futurepagerank.net/
http://livepr.raketforskning.com/
- tools that use some sort of algorithm to try to predict the future PR. These looked to me like really interesting tools. Here are some tools I have tested and what result they showed for me:
http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_prediction => PR4
http://www.rustybrick.com/pagerank-prediction.php => PR0
many other similar tools also showed me PR0 (as the current was PR0)
So basically no tool that I have tested predicted the accurate PR that I got (PR6). The closest one was the page rank prediction from iwebtool.com that estimated PR4… Strangely this still shows PR4 as an estimate for my site even now after it has PR6… we’ll see on the next update how accurate that is ;).
My personal favorite tool:

This looked promising - but I just tried the iwebtool.com tool, and it kept giving me Unknown Current PR & Cannot Determine Future PR results for a bunch of different domains I tried, all of which have an identifiable current PR. Oh well - maybe it’s broken or under too heavy of a load at the moment? This article caught my eye, though, since I have been trying to improve the dismal rating of my own site, and was up into the wee hours last night researching ways to do so.

Matt,
This is very strange… I have received results for all the domains I have tested myself. Well, who knows…
Let me know if you have found a better tool that does a more accurate prediction… If there is any ;).
Cheers,

When l look some of my domains from different sources they all giwe different results…
http://www.bigphp.net => They giwe 0 pr predict result, Juts its own pr is 5
http://www.kolayphp.com => They giwe 3 pr predict result ts own pr is 4 and most pages is 5, 6
http://www.megawarez.net => They giwe 6 pr predict result, its new pr s 1

The tool by seotime seems to be very unpredictable. It is showing my PR3 site’s future PR =0 .. .. seems funny.
http://www.seotime.com/tools/rankprediction/
my site is http://www.wintechmedia.com and pr is 3 while this tool predicts it to 0. I feel the iwebtool’s PR prediction tool is much more reliable as it calculates on some algorithms and accuracy of back links.
cheers!

Marius, you say that your PR is 6; my Google toolbar shows that your blogs PR is 5.
We can not use these tools as serious. Everybody says that Google calculate sites’ PR from received backlinks. Fine, but not all tools-sites update all backlinks at a same time and Google itself calculate only SOME of our backlinks, not all (I can see most backlinks for my site on MSN, not on Google)
That’s why we get different results on different tools.
Some engines say that my page has 30 backlinks and some say that I have 167 backlinks and prediction for my site goes from 0 to 4 because these tools are as different as searching machines and are using different numbers of our backlinks.
My site is rather new one (since October) and its PR is 0. In the begining I though that the green line showing PR is a big deal and was looking forward to get one, but now I do not care indeed.
I have seen a lot of sites with good content and low PR and sites with high PR but realy garbage content.
Finally, with PR0, I have 4 keywords that shows my site on the top of Google search results and that is more than good for me. Other keywords are also giving me some nice results and that is important
High PR for itself - what can I use that for? Especially when I know that people can BUY one way links and increase their PR that way no matter if their sites are good or bad!
99% of sites with PR prediction tools has actually another important tool on: Google Ads. These prediction tools are just “tools” to get your and my attention and visit the site, their role is NOT to give us 100% correct PR or PR prediction.
Therefore, take it as fun, not as a serious thing!
Sorry my english, but I beleive you’ve got my point.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Kemiar,
Thanks for your comment. I never looked at this as something serious, and exactly as you are saying I was just curious while my site had no PR.
Still even if one site/page has no visible PR (on the toolbar, etc.) the PR exists and is used on results returned on search pages (exactly what you are also seeing - pages with no visible PR appearing good on google searches for some keywords).
Cheers,

Does anyone know when the next google update will be?
iwebtool says http://www.lappis.org will become 3 instead of 4 :-(. Hope it is wrong.
And does anyone know why iwebtool.com says http://www.stadtbummel.de, http://www.queichheim.de “can not determine” ?? Two weeks ago it was working fine?? Did I made something wrong??
Thanks for an answer

7th July 2007, 12:33
Is these tools accurate? Im sure is not.
22nd July 2007, 21:50
Page rank prediction tools as they go are not very good, but i have found iwebtools one to be the most accurate.
1st August 2007, 02:04
These tools are predictors. They are wrong often, but they get it right often because most sites are between 4 - 5, so they should be right most of the time.
I have seen them right around 50% of the time on http://moremerchant.com and around 75% right on http://tech.crimsonlight.com

I’ve used smartpagerank which I find very nice and accurate. I’ve tried many pagerank sites and that is the only one that has impressed me.
