According to SEO Inc. we're in the middle of an update right now. Not sure how much I trust SEO Inc, but I'm sure they did their homework first before publishing this: http://blog.seoinc.com/archive/pr-and-backlink-update-19/
Also make sure that the link backs you are getting can be seen by the search engines...do a search on the board, but there are certain html tags and characters that if present in the url, can't be followed by the SE.
I've been trying to figure out how many backlinks it takes to get an increase in PR. I know it depends on the value of the links, but from what I have seen, it appears to require about 150 for each PR increment.
google is now not counting backlinks. i have read it somewhere, instead the google bot is smart enough to detect page that has unique and useful content. this will get you PR fast.
I had see a table were the show the ratio of back links you need to have to jump from PR x to PR y, I going to look for it and I will post it later on. but in the mind time get all the back links you can get
Give search engines time to crawl and update the search results. Also should care about the referral traffic that come from those links. You should do all kind of bookmarking also for the page that you get link from. You can do that actively.
