reported building links on high‑PR sites but not seeing a change. That outcome is common: the visible “PR” number is not a realtime, exhaustive signal, and technical or placement issues often stop a link from passing value. was right to point out that the raw PageRank number isn’t the whole story; treat it as a noisy indicator, not proof of link equity.

Quick technical checklist to verify each backlink:

  • Confirm the linking page is indexed (use Google Search Console > URL Inspection or a quick site: search for the page).
  • View the page source to ensure the backlink is a normal HTML anchor (<a href="...">) and not injected by JavaScript, inside an iframe, or behind a form.
  • Check headers and redirects to the target with a simple command:
    # follow redirects and show headers
curl -I -L https://example.com/path/to/linking-page
  • Look for blocking signals: rel="nofollow", meta name="robots" content="noindex", rel="canonical" pointing elsewhere, or an X‑Robots‑Tag HTTP header.
  • Use Search Console’s Links report and Analytics referral data to see whether links actually send impressions/visitors.

Fixes and strategy beyond raw link counts:

  • Resolve technical blockers (canonical/noindex/302s) and improve internal linking so any incoming equity reaches the intended page.
  • Replace low‑value placements (footer widgets, link farms) with editorial placements in content that’s topically relevant.
  • Reclaim unlinked brand mentions and broken links on other sites before chasing new low‑quality links.

Longer term, focus on creating linkable assets and measuring real outcomes (indexing, referral traffic, rankings for target keywords) rather than waiting for a PR number. Be patient, but combine patience with the verifications above; that turns good effort into measurable gains (as and suggested in spirit).

Please ensure it that those links are from dofollow pages, otherwise they will not be counted.

There is no way to know what your site's Pagerank is. The Google PR toolbar is obsolete and Google doesn't disclose what their Pagerank algorithm really is. We know that backlinks contribute to Pagerank, but we don't know the details. Therefore, you have no way of really knowing if your site is increasing or decreasing in PR value.

Remember, PageRank is just one factor in Google's ranking algorithm.

Google updates the page rank to all the websites over the web only once in 2-3 months, wait for the next update and build some backlinks, also add a google +1 button in your website because PR is now also dependent on how much +1's your website have.

Google does not update its pr daily. If you are building good quality of links. Then wait for some time you will definitely get the required results.

Hope this helps.
