Since the site is rather new, these questions are frequently asked by myself
Big questions that demand separate pages
- Q.
- Is there such a thing as PageRank leak?
- A.
- That depends on how you define PageRank leak.
- Q.
- Can I generate my own PR?
- A.
- There are three suggested ways to generate PageRank, but they don't really work.
- Q.
- Why doesn't your spreadsheet give the same values as the other PageRank explanations do?
- A.
- The values will be the same - eventually.
- Q.
- What if I want to simulate a site with more than 10 pages?
- A.
- See the page about large sites.
Smaller questions

| Pull the handle to get more iterations |
- Q.
- Are you colour-blind?
- A.
- No, my eyes are fine - thank you.
- Q.
- How do I get more iterations?
- A.
- You simple mark the right-most column with your mouse - and then drag the little handle at the bottom right. See the illustration to the right.
- Q.
- What does "#VALUE!" mean?
- A.
- That's Excel's gentle way of telling you that you have put a space in one of the cells. To fix it, go trough the apparently empty cells and fill them with a zero, or use the Del-button to empty them. If this doesn't work - reopen the spreadsheet.
- Q.
- Is the spreadsheet available for other applications than Excel?
- A.
- Sorry. But if you make one yourself, let me know, so that we can share it with the community.
- Q.
- Is PageRank named after Larry Page?
- A.
- Yes it is - according to this page:Google fun facts. However, this may be an afterthought for legal reasons: Other search engines can't use the PageRank concept if PageRank is named after one of Google's founders.
Welcome questions
- Q.
- If you're so smart, then how come you don't have a higher PageRank yourself?
- A.
