I found this site "http://www.seomastering.com/pagerank-prediction.php" where they have a PR "prediction" tool and I wonder how "real" this tool can be in your opinion?

Short answer: tools that promise a precise “future” Google PageRank are guesses. Google stopped showing a public Toolbar PageRank and turned off the public PageRank API years ago, so any site claiming to predict the next visible PR is working from partial data and heuristics, not Google’s internal value. (searchengineland.com)

Why that matters: PageRank is a link‑analysis score computed from the whole web’s link graph and the algorithmic weighting Google applies. Exactly reproducing that requires the global link matrix and Google’s internal signals, which third parties don’t have. The original PageRank work makes clear the score depends on the global link structure, not just a handful of observable links. ()

Practical alternatives: use third‑party authority metrics (Ahrefs DR, Moz DA, etc.) as proxies for link strength and for competitor benchmarking, but treat them as estimates, not Google’s score. More importantly, measure what actually affects your site: set up Google Search Console and Google Analytics, watch the Performance (clicks/impressions/queries) and Links reports, and track changes over time. Those are the actionable signals that tell you whether SEO work is working. (help.ahrefs.com)

Short checklist for the OP and respondents (, , , , ): stop chasing a numeric PR and focus on content relevance, internal linking, clean technical setup, and earning contextual backlinks. Use authority metrics for direction, but rely on Search Console + Analytics for truth. If a prediction tool is fun to play with, fine — but don’t budget time or money around a forecasted PR number.

That is not accurate at all, if you are looking for a free web application that estimates your page rank go here stimator.com

This is by far the best one I have used, it even evaluates the price of your website! I put my website on there ( SNIP ) and it was pretty damn close : )

What benefit do you get by knowing your pagerank ahead of time?

I don't think there would accurate tool in predicting PR since there are still a period of time for us to do more jobs for increasing our PR. BTW, according to the service above, my site would have a new PR of about 5.59 in the coming PR update. :)

Have a nice day,

Even if you page rank updated, What is the use of it. It won't help you in traffic or rankings.

I don't think the results are accurate as site itself says the results won't appear to be exact and accurate.

You can't believe on these kind of prediction tool available online because nobody know the Google algorithm of giving PR to any website.

I don't think that any such tool is really worth using as it will not provide the accurate result...
