How to get high page rank?

Hi welcome to TWF

Google Pagerank doesn't mean very much in the real world. Where your site comes on search results for your keywords is much more important in my opinion.

Here's some info though:
Good quality content that matches your site's topic(s) subject(s), and plenty of it. NO black hat techniques or tricks, as they find them all out in the end and you get penalised (or banned).
Good "QUALITY" links from other sites. Not just any old link will count, and really should be from a site/forum/blog with similar/relevant content to yours.

Basically put, a decent well maintained site with plenty of relevant and quality content and new content on a regular basis will get a decent pagerank.

PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. We have always taken a pragmatic approach to help improve search quality and create useful products, and our technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page's importance.

focus on getting lots of traffic.

You may start with link and article submissions and do link exchanges. Try to get as many back links as you can and you will have good PR

Just focus on providing good, relevant and quality original content that is worth linking to. Once other sites see its value and links to it naturally, you get more PR juice.

Lots and lots of links to other sites can boost your PR. Post comment's on Blogs, Forums.

There are books written on pr topic already. Quality links are key, but the difficult part is to stay top at all times.

To get High page rank you need some organic clicks on your site.And you have to distribute your website into more directories.You should get more quality back links using Dofollow .You need to concentrate SEO for your site.

Thanks for the info. but what do you do when you have a site that seems to be constantly blocked at the same PR rating ? I have one site that has been PR0 for over a year and another site that moved up to PR3 pretty quick but has been stuck there for over a year now, it seems like nothing I do makes any difference.

You need to focused first on creating quality contents. If you have quality contents it can easily attract visitors and they will probably link to your site. You can do commenting on high PR blogs (much better to related sites) and subscribe to their feeds.

well ,thanks for all the posts above. Almost every one mentioned Quality links. Now my question is how to get Quality links ? thanks

To get high PR? The most important for me is quality back link. That's mean your site have to having as many as back link from high PR site and if possible is relevant. Just concern about that. Beside, you also have to concern on your out bond link. Don't make your out bond link have larger number than in bound link. And, avoid duplicate content. That's my way to get higher PR.

Thanks for sharing the useful information. You must create quality back links to get high page rank on Google.

In short try to collect quality backlinks for your site, you would have good PR till next PR update.

fresh and unique content, proper use of keywords, Quality backlinks, onpage optimization... all are important for getting good PR with Google.

I am agrre with you.

1. Relevant anchors.

2. PR is only of value in achieving point 1 with webmasters who still think that PR is of value.

I will happily take links from a PR0 page that is indexed, subject to a few criteria that our spider checks.

Hi sc_king, ill share you some factors that affect pagerank, this might help you.

just my 2 cents

those were really nice information. After reading all your comments, I am now cleared of how really Google based their decisions whether to increase a sites PR or not.. And seeing how important Exchange Links to a site as wells as with backlinking to good sites, and good content. And I know now that posting links to bad sites has effects on the site.

So far, if I haven't got the chance to read all of your comments, I think my suggestion would be, which I think is the most important to consider in gaining high PR for a site is by posting good content and at the same time keep it updated as often.. Fresh ideas is very much appreciated y Google..

The fast way maybe get links with some other high rank pages.I have tried it successfully from pr0 to pr3 in a month.Anyway,the most imporant and useful method is keep your content updated daily.Remember,original contents are preferable.

The most important factor is your site's quality. Try to make it unique and attractive. Then you can do some offsite work to promote your site. Try to get more inbounde links is a good way.

To get high page rank building link is very important and you can do by submitting to directories, article, press releases, classifieds and blog commenting are few of the major way to improve your ranking

If you're really fussed about PageRank then buy some high PageRank links. But you shouldn't be. You can rent it and you can fake it.

it's outdated and it doesn't mean that much anyway

Damn straight. If it did, then the top site in any Google SERP would be the one with the most PageRank. It's not.

PageRank in the toolbar is only a very approximate (sometimes completely wrong) and out of date representation of the number and quality of links you have. You can get a high PR from one link but you won't rank for much. It's what those links SAY (i.e. the text used in them) that is Google's main ranking factor.

you should focus on on page as well as off page

On page optimisation does not affect PageRank.

And well spotted everyone who pointed out that PageRank comes from links

thanks all for sharing so much useful information with newbies.

Google are bringing out a totaly new version of Page rank very soon.
So I wouldnt worry too much about your existing page rank anyway, focus on building quality backlink to your website instead.

To get a high page rank you need links from other sites, either a lot of them with not much PR or a few of them with high PR. Both will increase your PR, and that will also increase your search engine rankings which is what matters anyway. You also need content on your site.

Getting high page rank is very difficult. Google consider so many factors before ranking a website. In my opinion also content is the main thing about a site. Good quality content site will be ranked first. The page rank also depends upon several other factors like keywords, links etc.

The easiest method I know is to comment on blogs with high PRs.
