Unfortunately, some users of Hrefer have problems with Sorting by PR tool, because of incorrect usage. In this lesson it will be detailed described how correctly to use this tool.

Phase 1: Preparing database, set-up

1) If database is not in subfolder Links , then it should be copied there. It is not necessary but it is recommended. For example my database is named New_test.txt
2) Start Hrefer. Enter in menu “Tools > Sort current links database by PR”. It is not necessary to update proxies.
3) Use default settings. At 5 Mb you can use more treads as usually. For example I use 50 treads.
4) Method of sorting is “Standard”
It should be like that:

Attention:
Path to database is not entered. It is indicated only name of database.

Phase 2 : Start sorting

1) Press “Run” button.
It will begin with first part of process. Hrefer will determine PageRank to all links from database, but sorting by PR it is not started yet. All PR values are stored in TEMPORARY file PRList.txt. (Attention: this txt file is temporary one and not with final results.) If you have made PR sorting earlier and you have saved old PRList.txt, you must wait till all saved data will be downloaded. PRList.txt work as basic file.

Process of this phase looks like this:

2) At the moment when progress bar will end it mean that Hrefer have determined PR of all links from database and it is ready to make sorting by PR. It will appear this window messages:

If you want to make sorting by PR then you should press “YES”. Only after this sorting by PR will begin. In my case New_test.txt database will be sorted. Future sorting will be made in some seconds.

Phase 3: Checking

1) Close Hrefer.
2) Open Links folder.
3) Open the database , but not PRList.txt
Evidently that at the beginning of database there are URLs with higher PR.

It was just an example but you can use it if you’ll have some difficulties to sort by PR.
Method of sorting could be used different as I gave you in this example. It is possible to separate database in 10 different files in dependence of PR by using “Multisort” method and not “Standard”.
During sorting by PR it is not necessary to use proxies. Hrefer can determine well PR without any proxies, but in some cases using proxies during sorting can be faster.

Short FAQ about this lesson

Question: “How is better to sort URLs by hostname or using full link?”

Answer : Using full link at sorting is not every time well, because your post can be in different place. For example: Full link to form have PR=0, but the page with posts have PR=5.
