Wow. Great answer!! Couldn't have said it better myself.

Focus not only in a good content to your website but promoting as well like submitting your site to a directory or do some social bookmarkings.

Thanks shouvik.d for your contribution. That thing sounds helpful.

Why i it so important to you?having a high page rank is good if you want to sell links to other ppl, but as far as ranking, its not so important.

However, if you want to get your pr up, work on your link building, get a few high pr links (at list pr7,8) and get listen at DMOZ and other dirs.

Good luck !!

Yeah. PR is not so important. It's more on impressing the visitor when they saw your high PR. The most important is the SERP.

This is a golden line let me elaborate a bit though:

Fresh Content - We normally follow a tendency to put a META tag named "revisit-after" so many days WHY? This send a message to bot that I will be updating so keep yourself updated. We have to prepare our website before a bot visits in a similar way as we prepare ourselves before some guests is about to visit our home. What happens if you do not care about your guests then I don't think they will value you in a matter of time. Similarily if you request bot to come and then present same old content they will stop caring for your site. There is a slight difference though bots come without we calling them so we have to take extra care to keep them entertaining with fresh content.

Link Building - There is never an end to this topic. You can have 1000's of backlinks and still not find yourself anywhere near the top. I have seen one couple of my websites that only one good backlink can put you on first page. So be careful when you are asking for backlinks couple of points only no brain surgery here:
1. Not too many links go out from that page
2. The page linking to you has some relevance to the theme of your site.
3. Google PR of the page
4. The page does not have "no index no follow" META defined in them
5. Your link does not have "rel=no follow" tag

I suggested that you get more backlinks for your site. Try the link building strategies done by the seo in promoting their site.

well the biggest way is to get sites to link into yours

Do regular link building and content refreshment...

And also check all the parameters like internal linking, keyword density, you should not have any unethical method used in the website.

Then, You will definetly get the higher PR.

best of luck.
