    PR doesn't matter much these days to rank, you can get pr6 by 3 months if you want a number.

    I have managed to acheive PR3 in the space of a few months, but I am going to stress this to you as clear as day right here right now... PR is not important to you. Not in the slightest.

    Focus more on getting your traffic, getting them to your site, and giving them quality info. As long as you have quality info, you will attract traffic. PR is just simply not that important.

    Although I agree that pagerank is not that relevant anymore, it IS still used a lot given that it's one of the easiest ways to compare sites on the surface due to lack of any suitable alternative. I also think that it IS still a measure of SOME the result of SOME elements of Google's algorithm, but not most of the new ones. Notice I say result not influencing factor etc - it's an output based on an out of date version of their algorithm, not a "factor they look at". That is to say, it's still worth noticing - it's not as relevant as some people make out, but it's not as irrelevant a measure as others say just because Matt Cutts said so.

    Also remember that pagerank is logarithmic / exponential. This means for the amount of links/link juice to get from 0 to one, you will need twice as much to get to 2, 3 times as much again to get to 3, 4 times as much (as for 3) to get to 4 etc. Once you work all that out it's clear to see that to get to 6 is actually very difficult and requires a lot of links!

    Hope this helps
    Matt

    You are correct in saying that it is a part of Google's algoritm, however those who are clear cut focused on PR forget also that one of the things that Google does take into account is that PR plus a young domain name does not look natural, so in a sense, PR should only matter if it is earned naturally and gradually. PR that is earned fast as well doesnt look natural either, so for those who want to earn PR as quick as possible, it is completely irrelevant as to how they will sustainably rank over the long term.

    Having said that, PR should not be a focus to any webmaster. A natural progression, or an emulated natural progression (using a good method of off page SEO) should be the focus instead of PR.

    I haven't read anyone getting from PR0 to PR6 within 3 months. Most of the PR6 websites have good content, with a solid readerbase.
    I think for a new site, working on SERP is better. No point aiming for PR6. After all, PR does drop off

    Let me be your first then. Registered a domain in early november, and by the update in Janurary, I was PR3.

    Was this because I worked toward getting a higher PR? No. Not in the slightest. Did I game the system? Nope. This was 70% natural. The other 30% was through social media marketing, and just simply providing damn good content to those who desired it.

    See, this is exactly what PR is all about. Its not a measure, its simply earned if you do the right thing. So many people want to know how to get a high PR, but the simple question here that they need to answer themselves is, "Is my site good enough to sustain a high PR?"

    There is not "time" required to get a PR6
    There are other things important to achieve that high PR

    The other poster said they hadn't heard of anyone getting from N/A or 0 to 6 in 3 months - you claim you are a successful example of this because you got to 3?

    There is a big difference between 3 and 6. It's not double the amount of links/pagerank - it's 1080 times! (This figure is 3x3x4x5x6). When you realise this it makes a lot of sense why there are tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of page rank 3 sites out there, but probably only a low few thousand page ranked 6, a few hundred 7's and only a handfull with ranks of say 8, 9 or 10 - Google only rated itself 9 rather than 10 until recently!

    If you drank vodka with Sergey Brin or Larry Page then increasing your PR from 0 to 5 (or even maybe to 10) can takes only few minutes :D

    Can you arrange that? I will buy a Tesla Roadstar if you can arrange a night out with Larry and Sergey and they sort me with some LarryPageRanks!

    Heck if you can you never know you may even be able to arrange for Sergey to give you a commisson on the Tesla sale to!

    You can fake PR if that's going to make you feel better

    I have just experienced to be PR0 jump to PR2 but to jump right away in the PR6 is something strange and it takes a lot of work which is more on improving your site PR but PR is somehow important but not totally because it's more important to be rank up in the SERP's to have a more visitors rather than having a good PR.

    If you setup your website today and buy few backlinks from PR8 web pages, and if the next day Google updating the PR algorithm, your website will get PR6!

    Make sure that these PR8 pages that sell links are real PR8. On the other hand I do not see how this approach is better than just faking PR with redirects.

    Thanks for the great answers :rolleyes:

    I'm quite frustrated about my blog which takes a lot of my time to write and rewrite articles but it's still PR0. Almost one month now.

    Thanks for the useful post redthehat ;)
