For GeekBoards, it took a bit more than 3 years to reach PR6.

So that means that after 1 year GeekBoards was at PR4? That's really good. Did you have to do a lot of promotion and marketing, or was most of it just traffic and people linking to the content?

It is confusing I agree because when we check the rank for the site in Alexa the smaller the number the better. But google PR more the better.

Google assigns a numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet; this PageRank denotes a site’s importance in the eyes of Google. The PageRank of a particular page is roughly based upon the quantity of inbound links as well as the PageRank of the pages providing the links. 0-5 is considered mediocre and above 5 is great. In order to increase PR you need a lot of backlinks from good reputed sites too. The more back links you have the higher your PR will be.

For a better page rank you have to maintain some strategies, attractive look site and link building is not enough in that case. You have to make your website relevant to your purpose and expose it to people as it would be.

For improving your Google PageRank - Keep pushing F5 24/7 for 1 week. That should shoot it up significantly but also, maybe add some meta keywords in the site index. Send it into ore search engines, and make it more popular and noticed.

The easiest way to get page rank increased is to get some real traffic to your site. Naturally it will get backlinks and your PR will slowly rise.

PageRank is just the numerical value given by Google. Based on the importance of the webpage it may vary between 0 and 10. Google ranks the page based on the link popularity (Hypertext Matching Analysis) which includes internal link architecture and external link structure of the webpage.

Hi,

Trust me PR 10 is 10 times better than PR 0 The only good thing about Google page rank is that it is not that important. If you have a start up website which produces quality content you get into Google search results very, very fast.

So my advice is not to implement any link building strategies only to get PR. It is all about content and real, targeted visitors.

I've owned GeekBoards for close to 3 years now. I haven't really focused on SEO/PR so do not know for certain what caused the PR to increase. If I'm remembering correctly, the original founder of the site ran it for 6 months or so before putting it up for sale.

I mainly focused on making sure that the site stayed online, was reasonably fast, spam deleted, etc.

Cool, that's encouraging to read. I've been taking that approach with my blog, not focusing too much on seo and pr because it's the content that I need to spend my attention on. I guess it goes to show that "natural" rankings do happen, even though most people who promote seo are always trying to find ways to go beyond the "natural" increase.
