John Cow dot COM: Raking In The Pagerank

  • Cash Quests · 2 years ago
    Unfortunately the way PageRank works is that the PR that is "leaked" to you from the linking site is divided by the number of links on the page.

    Generally speaking, a PR7 with two links on the page will give you 7/2 pagerank juice. A PR7 with 100s of links gives you....an amount not worth paying for.

    They must be raking in the money.

    We'd love to see where you get that information from.

    We're pretty sure that nobody except Larry Page and Sergey Brin really knows how PageRank is determined. These are all educated guesses. Simply because if someone did know exactly how it works, we'd all be rich by now.

    The formula that determines page rank is much more complicated than that, quite simply because otherwise everybody would copy it.

    The main problem with having a link from a PR7 site that has hundreds of links is that every link will be valued at 0. Not becuase of the formula but because Google deems the site to be full of shit.
  • Cash Quests · 2 years ago
    No, they're not educated guesses. PageRank was created by Larry and Sergey while at Stanford University (and Stanford owns the patent). They published how it works and it remains the property of Stanford University. Of course, it has been changed and altered since then, but I'm sure the basic principles are still the same.

    I don't think how it works is a big secret at all. If you get a one-way link from a PR7 site and you're the only link on that site, it makes logical sense that you'd get more PRjuice than from one with 100s of links.

    Discovering how PR works isn't the hard part, getting the links is. And that's what holds people back from riches.

    Sorry, but I still think buying a link there would be a waste.

    Yes, guess paying $10 for a valid PR7 backlink would be silly if you can get one on CashQuests for the same prize where you share the PR0 with 25 others!

    It is all about the money though isn't it: "Get Rich or Die Trying"

    I love that quote :P
  • Jason · 2 years ago
    I am eagerly waiting to jump from my 0 PR just like Mr. Cow. MOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  • Abdalla · 2 years ago
    I'm hoping for PR3+
  • Steven · 2 years ago
    LOL anything is better than a PR 0, I'll take what I can get.

    I'm hoping for a PR4 at least. My original site is 5 and I'm making over $100/month on text links which is nice extra money. Then i'm hoping my blog gets a 4 at least, hopefully those predictors are right.
  • fatgadget · 2 years ago
    I am hoping to get a PR of 5 in the update, which is what is showing on iwebtool, not bad in 3 months, and thanks to the Mad Moo's for including me in their link train which has helped a lot :)
  • John Cow · 2 years ago
    Go FatGadget Go!

    One thing that really confuses me is how you use words like "sent" instead of "send", or "spent" instead of "spend". Is this some sort of American or Canadian or Aussie thing? I only ask because you do it all the time and it doesn't look like you do it by mistake.
  • John Cow · 2 years ago
    We're never sure if it's with a T or D so we figured we'd stick with one of them so we wouldn't look too silly. It's not an American, Canadian or Aussie thing. We're Dutch cows.
  • MLS News · 2 years ago
    Last time I checked, and bought links off that site, was around 3 months ago. The minimum "donation" was $10 at the time/link. I have gotten links from them at 1$/link >6 months ago, when the whole world didn't know about their forum.

    Anyone that gone one recently, is the price still at 10$/link ?
  • Cubofild · 2 years ago
    I think it's 20$
  • Steven · 2 years ago
    Link for?
  • CFernandes · 2 years ago
    It seemed the PR updated started almost a month ago but it has been very slow to update...
  • KingJacob · 2 years ago
    I love being a PR0 with 3600 backlinks, it make selling links so much easier.
  • Steven · 2 years ago
    How so...
  • KingJacob · 2 years ago
    It was sarcasm but I guess sarcasms hard to read.
  • Making The Money · 2 years ago
    Do you advertise your back link count to potential link buyers?

    It's possible to have 100,000,000 backlinks all passing no rank, number of links wouldn't figure in my decision to buy.
  • KingJacob · 2 years ago
    Thats actually what I have to do, I have to show them my alexa,tech,3500 backlinks and point out why those 3500 are quality from high pr, so I have to convince each new buyer that their link will get traffic or that its a bargain buying my "pr0" links.
  • Sly from Slyvisions.com · 2 years ago
    The PR is late, but I think I can wait (and you guys should too). It's a perfect time to get more backlinks to your site!
  • fatgadget · 2 years ago
    Lets hope they finish it soon :)
  • RB · 2 years ago
    Strange, I sent a paypal donation to M. Anderson's email 4 days ago but no link has shown up. How much did you guys donate? Maybe I sent too little?
  • Michael Fultz · 2 years ago
    Hmm..25 to 50 bucks a month? That's worth going without sleep for the next 5 weeks for!
