Page Rank and SERP order

Hmmm.

Why would you want to "calculate" or more likely do an "educated guess" of PageRank?
I mean what is the scope/goal?

You have to analyze at least the website that you are interested in. If IT containes SEO tricks

Or you can download Demo version of IBP from here and check site of interest.

Dear Jaclaz ,

My goal is to demonstrate that the permanent redirection between 2 company site (A and B) is the main cause of the S.E.R.P. that we obtain when we
use a specific keyword.

Site A has been permanently redirected (http result code 301) to site B for a month. After that site A and the related domain has been cancelled.

When we searched for a keyword that is the brand of site A (and also a part of the domain of site A) we have site B as first result.
We examined the content of site B and there was no trace of that keyword. We also examined the inbound link to site B and no occurrence of that keyword
was found.

The Page Rank of site A should be inherited by site B, according to SEO and Google documentation related search engine and redirection.
(eg. http//moz.com/learn/seo/redirection)

In my opinion this is the explication of the site B first result for that keyword search.

The counterpart consultant claim that the order and the content of a search result is influenced by more 200 factors and that
Page Rank is only one of that. (He mentioned mainly geolocation and context…)

I would like to know what is the Page Rank of each Url obtained in the search (only the first 10) and verify what is the correlation between this value
and order in the list.

Best Regards
Andrea Liguoro

That will be rather tough as there is a I believe "general" consensus (hence the link I provided earlier)
http//moz.com/search-ranking-factors
that actually Page Rank is only one of many factors
http//blog.woorank.com/2013/04/what-is-a-pagerank-and-how-important-is-it-in-2013/
http//backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors
and google itself (though as always "vaguely") confirms how Page Rank is more or less "meaningless metrics"
http//googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.it/2011/06/beyond-pagerank-graduating-to.html
http//googleblog.blogspot.it/2008/05/introduction-to-google-search-quality.html
or at least only a part of the story.

and order in the list.

Well, there are tens of Page Rank calculators available, and there are Uni papers on the algorithm and how to calculate the page rank, but there a few points worth of note.

There is not (AFAIK) a "consolidated" Page Rank algorithm, google has seemingly changed it a few times already (and whether these changes are affecting significatively or not on the actual results is not much documented).

The Page Rank calculation is a "dynamic" form of calculation taking into account (within limits) the "whole" internet, so if you calculate Page Rank now, the result may be different from the result you had using the same calculation yesterday and from the result you will have tomorrow.

My feeling is that 75 to 90% on anything that you can find online about SEO and similar topics are the result of wishful thinking, wild guesses and remarkable ability to sell "nothing" as it was something of actual value, so I would be very careful on citing any of these sources (and the same applies obviously to your counterpart consultant)

IMHO essentially the *whatever* is used by google is
1. secret/undisclosed (and even the parts that are disclosed are only partially so)
2. continuously evolving/changing

And with a "database" or "sample" of only 10 items, I find it a bit hard to demonstrate a correlation between *anything*, even if the empirical results fully adhere to your theory. ?

Try to check the cache copy on web archive. But I am not sure if the code is clean and they cache also redirect functions.
