How can I increase my PR and how do I find out what my PR is? Also, what are the main advantages to havign a higher PR?
To sum it up: More backlinks from related sites. Install the google tool bar Advantages.. high PR = ability to sell links at a good price. Basically...
how can you spam your link when trying to get it added on other sites? does that mean like posting comments on blogs or something?
You see a lot of it in forums, where people will just list a bunch of links in a post. Doesn't last long though. You can add up to 4 links to your signature here at DP though. Just be carefull in the posting area.
Tool to check your PR. -> http://livepr.raketforskning.com/ Exchange sites with higher PR and when Google updates, your PR might increase.
Get more and more inbound links form theme base sites. Outbounding links also give you some help to gain good pr.
In single line:get back links to increase your PR also more importantly you can get some good PR from a directory having PR7 like www.alivedirectory.com whose innerpagers are 5 or 6
Instead of spamming links on multiple sites, look for webmasters who own similar theme websites and are willing to exchange links with your site. You can also purchase one way links from high PR sites.
Can I ask your reasons for wanting more PR? For a brand new site you should just concentrate on a good internal link structure and add as many new and unique pages as possible. Google will find your site and give you a page rank based on that. You don't need to chase PR yet, if you are new to making sites. If you come across an oportunity to get your site linked from other sites then do it but don't make it your main aim. Welcome to the DP.
