Hello, it is very expensive to get a PR7 site, if you want it really fast you can get it in 5-6 months by spending 5-6-7k a month. I have no idea what it would cost to make a PR8 site. If you create something unique you could reach it without paying for links
to me i think all you need is backlinks nd content. the more you feed to your site the more it will be give back to you as well as reputation in shape of rank or so called pr. have a nice day
Easiest way is to get well researched on a topic that you can get a bunch of college sites, news sites, and other well known sites linking to your site for references. But if it was that easy then everyone would do it.
Its very unlikely you will be able to make it to P8 unless you have hundreds of thousand backlinks that are good quality.
If you have really good content you could probably get to pr8 without paying at all. Just wait for people to link to you. Although it takes a lot of time.
How about write a research paper where you could link your site from it? could be worth it once you get many citation.
if your trying to buy your way to a PR8 its not going to work. Most PR8's are viral sites that have thousands and thousands of backlinks that are naturally generated through content and other linkbait tactics.
The following chart at http://www.smartpagerank.com/pagerank-calculation-chart.php can give you a general idea how many backlinks you will need. I agree with manageyourlinks, however, in the fact that it is VERY difficult (and expensive) to buy your way to a pr8.
The content is the king. So the best and free way is more heavy content. Then ,you can get many back links.
Redirect only google bot with 301 to high pr site And you will see on the next PR update how strong is this This is the easiest way to get a high PR, but FAKE PR.
Even then, I am not sure it will be PR 8. I think unless a site is a great authority, they tend to go up to a 7.
