At what page rank do search engines go, "dude, this guy's site is sweet?" I've been working on getting quality backlinks and getting a PR6 is a lot tougher than PR5. Is there that big of a difference between 5 and 6?
cnn.com is PageRank 10 > you`ll get an instant PR8 i think, but cnn.com don`t sell links cause make a lot of money. ( google.com same...)
If I owned cnn.com I would not be trying to build links to a site. I would be on my yacht playing beer pong.
I would say pr6-pr7 is the "dude, this guy's site is sweet" range for my guess. Anything higher and its "dude, this guy's site is the Bomb"
Watch out more for mozrank and forget about toolbar pagerank. Especially when you have links to other sites as link exchange or footer and/or sitewide links.
PR4 is the easiest to get, you can get your site from PR0 to PR4 within a few weeks if you work hard enough. Once you hit PR5 that's when your site is considered serious business, and PR6 and above is a really impressive rank for any website.
Quality link-back is the only option left for you.Focus of Quality link-back and Quality work rather than PR. Good Luck
For sure PR6 is better than PR5. But it can be PR5 which is almost PR6 and PR6 which is almost PR5. So the difference is between 1x - 10x. If you can get more PR5 get them. Links diversification is also a good thing.
How can i get my PR0 website to PR4 in a few weeks? The site is approx 2 months old. Has about 150 pages. I usually write a few unique articles on my site on a daily basis. Have done no offsite work yet. I have about 149 pages indexed in webmaster tools. Do you think writing articles and publishing these articles on article directories and creating press release articles will be sufficient to get a PR4. May also do a bit of social bookmarking. At the moment site is generating approx 25 unique visitors a day. This is not an adsense site. Purely a commercial site. In two months it has generated approx 80 new business enquiries for the client. Any thoughts of increasing unique visitors.
@lojanus I agree.Its all about trust rating and popularity rating. You don't want to be 10 on trust or you don't want to be 10 in popularity. Now,we want to be 5 in trust and 5 in popularity. The inner or central core of the web universe.That's what lojanus is talking about.
