I just got done putting together a neat little SEO tool that calculates how much Google PageRank you’ll need to get from links to obtain a specific PageRank. I call the tool a Google PageRank Calculator. To best explain what it does lets look at an example.

Lets say you want a PageRank of 6 and you currently have a ranking of 1 then this tool will calculate how much PageRank you’ll need from links pointing to your site to get to PR6. Which in our example would be ~297 PR1 links pointing to your site to increase your PR1 site to a PR6 (using the default settings on the tool).

The tool gives you a nice total of the complete amount PR you’ll need and then breaks it down father into how many PR1, PR2, and combination of PR2 and PR1 links that would be. In the future I might make it break that down further or have some sort of options were you can chose how many max or min links of a specific PageRank.

The benefit of this tool is that it will allow you to have some estimation of what type of effort it will take to get your site up to a point at which it’s considered an authority in Google. PageRank is really just a measure of that, that page’s authority. Although of course that has gotten lost a little bit with people buying links and obtaining them in other ways but that is really the original purpose of what PageRank shows. And so this tool really just gives you some prediction on what it would take for you to get there.

For more information on how exactly this SEO tool works just check out the tool’s page and scroll down a little bit and you’ll find an explanation of how the calculation is done. And thanks to my brother who help with the Calculus and Algebra.

Also I’ve set it up so you can post comments about the tool on that page. Just scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see the comment area.
