How can I Improve My Site Page Rank?

How can I improve my site page rank? We were a three now a two as of today. How can I get it back to three at least or more?

Page rank that you see in toolbar does not represent actual google "pr" and does not affect your ranking.

Get some good links! Especially from trusted high pr websites and wait 4-6 month until next pr update.

PageRank is about one thing and one thing only - Links. Period.that said, PR is one part of a much larger ranking algorithm that places your site in it's spot in the SERPs. Since you are watching your Toolbar PR (which is only really useful to people that sell links to people that think PR is everything there is to ranking) you are probably watching your rankings and your traffic. I'd wager that neither of those has moved at all.

You can read all about the original PageRank formula here - http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html I think that everyone that does SEO - especially if you are selling it as a service, should be required to read and understand that whitepaper before accepting a single penny from a client.

Something else, PageRank is named for Larry Page, not web pages.

Hi Timothy, I would like to say first that regular SEO is needed to keep the pagerank of the site stable. And even if it does change then there is no need to get worried because you can get back on the track very fast. Get some good backlinks, try for guest blog posting on other established websites, try to get your website's link on do follow blogs and also make use of the web 2.0 properties.These activities are capable of changing the site's rank faster than the other means.Get more useful content on your website and then publicize those contents further through newsletters and press releases.Even searching for your website through Google instead is a trick for improving PR instead of typing the entire URL in the browser.

That is flat out "wrong".

I do not have data to prove it, but it should a positive "brand" signal for google. and that would be smart

Hi Timothy,

What you're looking at is the Toolbar Page Rank for an individual URL on your site. That's a number that's updated 2-4 times a year, and is only a semi-accurate representation of the internal ranking that Google keeps.

Like Steve says, you want to focus on if your traffic, rankings, conversions, etc. have changed.
