Hi, I was reading another forum a few weeks a go and a user said that getting a PR 4 was easy! Now surely that’s not true, getting a PR1 should be quite easy but a PR 4? When I looked into this after the last update many sites that were new have now been listed as PR 4 or in some cases higher. Is all you need to do it submit to directories to get a higher PR? What are you thought of this issue Thanks Dan
PR3/PR4 can be attained without much effort; directory submissions, fre press releases and a few other links will fetch a PR4.
My company website www.schrockinnovations.com was able to get a PR4 with no effort at all. All you need is a site that has good content. People here and there will link to it, and that's really all it takes. I would like a PR 9. Let me know the bloke who has a PR 10 with links to spare!
Getting a PR 5 isn't too difficult. It's all about link building. I have a PR 5 on Eferi, and it's just links from the sites that I've built. F-150.com (no pr), OuterBanks.net (pr4/3 &5 on some hot pages), Tinyer.com (I have no idea why, but I have a PR 3 with a PR 4 for tinyer.com/whois, made me happy the other day), SNDWaves.com (PR 1), PepsiFireworks.com (no PR), that's not all, but I would get the courtesy DP kick in the arse if I kept going. Usually these links are just at the bottom of the page. Keep in mind though, you can have all the PR 10 pages in the world, but without content and good keyword targeting you won't get good traffic. For example, I get wierd people coming into Eferi.com just because I have some random quotes at the top, it places well in Google for those keywords because they aren't competitive, but for "web development" I'm no where to be found.

Not hard. My blog and my DP profile are both PR5 with little to no effort. I think PR6 is where it starts to get harder.
If you got a PR 4 or 5 after the last update you might not have a quality PR 4 or 5. The last update was all screwed up and gave a lot of junk sites with hardly any backlinks PR 4s and 5s. The last PR update was the beginnings of Google being all screwed up. Just look around the forums and see all the people talking about.
Well, we'll see with the next PR update. I did see a lot of sites gain PR the last one, hopefully mine don't lose any!
You're too modest. You have made over 2000 posts to get a PR5 profile, I don't think that took a small effort. I think it's getting harder to get higher PR ratings, as the web grows. If the indexed internet doubles in size, that means you need twice as many inbound links as you did before to get to the same level. At a certain point you're just running to stand still.
The highest I got a site was to a PR3. Now, working on a flash game site. Hopefully I'll do much better this time around.
My site went from PR0 to PR4 during an update around this time last year. I mainly submitted to a bunch of directories. Seems that PR5 is much tougher; my site still hasn't gained any more PR beyond 4 since then, even though I keep submitting it to more directories.
Mine gained a lots of PR the last update ;D, hope the next update is a smooth one and i will remain where i am which is PR5 !
We still have not figure out how the heck the profiles here received such good PR at all. It really makes no sense and doesn't seem to be based on the amount of posts: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=1 (16,000+ posts, PR4) http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=615 (6,000+ posts, PR3) http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=2 (200+ posts, PR3) http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=76 (2,600+ posts, PR4) etc. Weird.
Shut up! Heh, just kidding. My two week old directory has been given a 1 PR for existing I guess. My mission, if I choose to accept it...
every post has a link back to profiles and google index all those link,,mine is PR4 two..month ago it was PR2...
