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.

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?

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.

Default bald SEO consultants

The only thing that will happen if you worry about PR is that you will lose your hair. That is why there are so many bald SEO consultants. I say don't worry about it. Worry about having the best content.

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.

hey Brian,
I see you are in Carp. I am in SB/goleta. Small world.
I think the key with PR if you ignore it will come... if you focus on it it will drive your crazy. And it takes time...

That's great to hear. I'm not going to stress about PR anymore, it's not worth the time really. All you can is what you can do, then you have to let go of the outcome.

Ha, I hope that's true! It's like reverse psychology -- but it's got to be a much easier way to deal with.

hey Brett,
Actually, I think it is reverse psychology. It seems to me that most of the websites with high PR really don't care about it. So just don't care... and we'll see what happens!
