How does the PageRank 1/N model calculate link equity?
The simplified 1/N model divides a page's outgoing equity equally among N outbound links. A page with PageRank 10 and 5 outbound links passes equity equivalent to 10/5 = 2 to each linked page (with a damping factor of around 0.85 applied). The real PageRank algorithm is more complex, weighting links by topical relevance and trust, but 1/N remains a useful mental model for understanding how outbound link count dilutes equity per link.
Does Google still use PageRank in its ranking algorithm?
Yes, Google has confirmed PageRank remains a core ranking signal, though the toolbar PageRank score was retired in 2016. Modern PageRank incorporates topic relevance, link quality, and trust signals, but the foundational concept of equity flowing through links is unchanged. Third-party metrics like Domain Rating and Domain Authority approximate the underlying logic. The 1/N calculator is a directional planning tool, not a precise ranking simulation, but the principle still governs link strategy.
Should I limit outbound links to preserve link equity?
Avoid artificial restriction; relevance and user value matter more than equity hoarding. A page with 20 well-chosen contextual outbound links is more useful than the same page with 3 forced ones, and Google rewards user-friendly pages. Where you can legitimately consolidate, do so: drop tangential outbound links, especially from key money pages where you want maximum equity flowing inward. Resource and round-up pages can have many outbound links; their purpose is curation.
How does nofollow affect link equity calculation?
Historically nofollow links were excluded entirely from equity flow. Since 2019 Google treats nofollow as a hint rather than a directive, meaning some equity may pass. The 1/N calculator still divides equity by total outbound links, including nofollow, because the equity is consumed even if the nofollow target receives little or none. Adding nofollow to outbound links does not redirect equity to other dofollow links on the same page; that sculpting tactic was disabled years ago.
How can I identify pages on my site that leak too much equity?
Run the calculator on key landing pages. Pages with high inbound authority but 50+ outbound links, especially to external domains, are leaking equity that could feed your money pages. Audit comment sections, blogroll widgets, footer links, and resource lists for outbound links that no longer serve users. Replacing or removing low-value outbound links is one of the fastest internal optimizations available; results often appear within a few crawl cycles.
Should internal links ever be nofollow?
Almost never. Internal nofollow used to be a sculpting tactic to concentrate equity on chosen pages, but Google neutralized it: nofollowed internal links still consume equity proportionally without passing it onward, so the result is pure waste. The only legitimate internal nofollow use cases are login pages, terms-of-service legal text, and similar utility pages with no SEO value. The calculator highlights internal nofollows so you can convert them back to dofollow.
