Thanks shimon for making some excellent points on this. I think my pages are well linked and can easily meet 1-4 points by you, except last two. so are you saying that i should allow plenty of time to cross PR5 barrier?
Exactly. Just keep doing everything you're doing (I'm assuming your following SEO Best Practices), and you'll be in great shape.
Pagerank is not a replacement for ranking. I have rec'd calls that said I want to be PR=6 or 7 and I ask why and they say because i will then rank high. Not true.
We - who do SEO - should propogate the notion that for your keyword(s) your are on page one above the fold. That delivers brand awareness and traffic... not a PR=6.
My recommendation is content, content, content and then couple it with periodic press releases. This worked with some sites i had, getting one up to a PR 7 but it took a year. But if you update content, focus on link value, and then issue press releases and other immediate link building tactics, you sholud be ok.
Lots of content is an amazing thing, but it has nothing at all to do with pagerank. Well, kinda. The more pages you have, the more pagerank you can "create" to distribute to other pages of your site. But pagerank is a measure of backlinks ... both internal and external.
CSC ... pagerank is a measure of Relevance. Relevance is content first - and "quality" back-links second. Without good content, a million links will give you a low page rank. However, with great content and no links - a PR=5 is easily achievable.. maybe '6'.
