I am still in the dark about what link value means. It seems to have little correlation to PR. Sometimes a high PR page link will have a low link value and vice versa. I find that most all links have a value of 0.00. Does this mean that these links have no benefit?

I gues nobody knows what "link value" means. I swear, this forum is like being dropped into the Alaskan wilderness and yelling for help. Nobody hears or cares.

Ridiculous. Even the adminastrtors ignore me. I don't think I will be renewing my subscription. The service seems to suck.

Its supposed to calculate the true power of a link. The theory is sound but the implementation is incorrect. The Google pagerank formula states that the value of a link from a site (other factors aside) is determined by the page rank of the page divided by the number of outgoing links (both internal and external).

Link value in SEO Spyglass does this but the mistake is it simply divides the numerical figure of page rank which is not the true value of page rank. Simply dividing page rank 6 by the number of outgoing links is not correct since page rank grows exponentially as the numbers increase. ie page rank 6 is around 8 times page rank 5.

Link value in SEO Spyglass determines that a link from a page rank 10 website with 10 outgoing links is equal to a page rank 1 website with only 1 outgoing link. This is totally incorrect of course since the former link would give your site probably page rank 8 or at least 6 or 7 whereas a link from any kind of page rank 1 website would only give you 1 at best.

Its a misinterpretation of the patented Google page rank formula which is 0.85 x page rank, divided by the total number of links on the page. The Link Assistant team have taken it too literally since page rank 1-10 are simply easy names for the page rank levels and don't represent their true numerical value since 1-10 is not exponential.
