I have seen many sites saying you need a lot of link backs. I have checked on DNScoop I have over 250 links to my site.

What do you need to get off PR 0 ??
 
Page rank isn't really that important... It is more of a bragging thing.

It is not only the number of links but it is the quality of the sites those links are on for example 20 links on site with a PR of 6 would be better then 25 links on sites with no page rank.
 
Okay, I thought it helped get your site higher in search engines.
 
Not really, FP has zero page rank also but are very high in the search engines and get quite alot of hits from them (over 1000 hits a month from both Google and Yahoo).
 
Google use over 200 search factors when calculating a page rank, so there aren't really many things you can do to effectively push it up.

Personally, I have found that having a good set of link-backs on highly ranked sites is one of the best ways to build page rank. If you target forums like Digital Point or The Admin Zone, put a link in your forum sig and post there regularly your PR should increase. I adopted this strategy with my PixelRaider domain name, and continued building quality back links until we reached Page Rank 4.

Be warned though, it's not about the quantity of back links - it's the quality. I had about 1,500 back links and Page Rank 4. Once I changed the copyrights on my phpBB styles to PixelRaider, the backlinks increased to 10,000 and the Page Rank dropped to 2.

Basically, try building quality backlinks on highly ranked sites, and have patience as it can take a few weeks for your Page Rank in update. ~smile~

Click to expand...

Same with ZF, 0 on pagerank yet ranked near the top of nearly every zombie category.
 
I think it is best to just not worry about Page rank... Some people care too much about it and at the end of the day it is quite pointless and it would be better to just spend the time doing more worthwhile things to get your forum active. By just advertising your forum you will at the end of the day improve your page rank without working on it.

You can still get really good positioning without a high pagerank.
 
As I've said before on this forum pagerank is a strange thing. I have one website which has simply a single index page with 4 outgoing links, it;'s not advertised, promoted or linked to (that I know of) yet it has a PR of 4.

The thing is though that a lot of advertisers do look at PR when looking to advertise on a website
 
ok? ummm, what is PR, and how do you find out yours. it's nothing i'll obsess over, but just wanna see for kicks 😀
 
Best place to check would be http://dnscoop.com .

PageRank isn't completely pointless, as Spyka said page rank is highly looked upon by advertisers. Also if you're interested in Domain Marketing, PR plays a huge part in increasing the value ~wink~
 
I think that PR is overhyped and not worth it. Facebook only has a PR of 8 right now and Alexa ranks them at #6 of all sites I think -lol- . Google is the only PR of 10 that I know.
 
PageRank doesn't matter, keyword density is one of the most important things for ranking high in google.
 
I remember seeing one forum holding a contest to win money, where you got entries for doing things to increase their PR, e.g. 10 entries for each blog post about their forum.
