Is it really easy to get a PR5?

My experience corresponded to that 2-3 year time frame. I did steady link building — mostly free directories, some paid directories — plus some naturally derived links from those just choosing to link to my site.

Results? 18,000 backlinks (per Yahoo today) and a PR5 homepage. Steady link building over time gets it done.

 

make sure to get quality backlinks from websites that are in the same niche as yours... they have to be relevant...

 

It's not easy but then PR is worthless don't bother with PR

 

This thread is very useful,it is also help me a lot,thank you all.

 

i have achieved PR=4 in one shot after 4 months. I did only Press Releases and Article Submissions

 

Can you please give me that URL.

I want to check, how many article directories back links have been counted in the same.

 

true, very true! I had a PR 2 for a long time, even though my backlink count was very strong.

Did some SEO surgery on my creaky old site, which gave me #1 non-sponsored in Google, Yahoo, MSN on my selected key words.

Voila'........PR 3 came within a month of the web site SEO revisions.

Hoping to see PR4 in the next Google crawl....

 

Also VERY true......in combination with good content and concentrating on linking from relevant sites (I like to try and match 2 or more key words if possible).

 

I am disagring with those who thinks it useless And I can tell you that some pages I own droped to PR 0 and at the same time some of them droped at the search result also.

 

Easy? who said it was easy? Well I guess if you have a lot of cash to spare for paid links then it is easy.

 

If you want to easily achieve the PR5, you need either 1 PR7 backlink or 4 PR6 backlinks for at least 6 months. You must keep it as long as you maintain the PR5. This way is no free!

 

I agree, as well, to the efficacy of the thread.

 

In my experience, NO... unless you've plenty of budget to buy links from PR7 and above.

 

I think getting a PR 5 is not very easy. You will need lots of back links. Try to get links from pages with high PR, like PR7 or PR 6

 

Honestly I think I faint if a site 5 or higher wanted to link. I just have never ran accross a high link. Mostly 1-3 and a rare 4 which I thought was great at the time. When a site gets 4 or higher they usually only want to rank with sites of the same page rank or higher.

 

I'll be happy to reach PR 4.......if & when it happens!

 

I believe that it is very difficult to reach pr5 status. If it were easy then everyone would have a pr5 or higher. PR can be good, but it doesn't always mean your site will rank well. There is a Realtor in my company who has a PR 4 but doesn't come up on any of the serps. If he worked a little bit at SEO he would jump up on the searches rather quickly.

 

I have a domain with about 20K Baklinks 10% are quality links and it is still PR3

 

i just got to pr1 ranking im getting there

 

It's very hard to get a PR5 nowadays.
It used to be a lot easier back in 2005-2006.
