Getting form PR3 to PR4

    Hello,
    How long does it take to get PR4 from PR3?

    I have one of the best websites about one CCG in spanish, we have new articles each week and more than 20 new threads in our forum every day.
    But it is PR3 for more than a yerar now, we are getting links from others sites, and more users an traffic, but our PR is stuck at 3, with PR4 prob some shops will want to advertise in our site, so it is importan to reach PR4 or more if possible.
    The website is http://www.moxes.com

    Do you know some reason for this?
    I know we have to work more, but it is that hard to get PR4 when I see a lot of contentless websites with more PR than me?

    There hasn't been a complete toolbar PR export for old sites for ages, possibly even a year, I'm not sure. Stick in there, keep doing what you are doing, and it will turn up sooner or later. Unless its broken beyond repair.

    This post will soon be followed by 20 posts telling you why toolbar PR is unimportant...but before that, can't you convince advertisers that the content of your site is what matters, perhaps come up with some traffic statistics to back your case - surely most advertisers wouldn't seriously advertise with a contentless PR4 rather then a decent PR3 site?

    If you can show that you are highly ranked in google for relevant keywords that should also help your case

    Let say that here in spain those shops doesnt know a lot from marketing, and the more you offer them the better.

    Even asking them less than the real cost of the ads, in spain the internet marketing is in stone age :-(

    They are not advertising at all in internet, only in a magazine, which is less likely to affect their internet sales.
    A lot of them wanted free ads just for they "deserve" it, it is ridiculous but they really think that internet is free, and if my website is about a product they sell, they have the right to advertise in my web for free, because they are famous stores....

    Ill probably sell links like other people in english and stop trying to improve the internet trade in spain lol

    yah, the problem is toolbar pr hasn't changed for older sites in the past 2 updates... not sure what's happening over there at google...

    i'd continue with the effort and hope that you'd shoot right to a pr 5 or a pr 6 when it next happens... :)

    exceeding PR above 4 is harder than getting a PR0 to PR3, get massive amount of backlinks to increase PR. Every now and then, they usually increase the range or required bl's for PRX(x= 1-10)

    Link quality counts.

    Even though your PR stayed the same in the TB, it might not be the same in reality. PR in Google is incremental within each main whole number. You may have been a low PR 3 and are now towards the top.

    I'm not going to say PR is useless. PR matters. Why? Because we make it matter. It's the same concept as money. In the USA, our currency is simply pieces of paper. It has "value", because we believe it does.

    So some people get PR for "free" and others have to build it from scratch, mi site started at PR0, got PR1 then PR2 and PR3 afterwards, not PR4 since beggining.

    Im working to get more links, I discovered here thousands of directories and submision services that i didnt know before.
    I have already contacted some and I hope their work serves me to reach PR4 and above if possible.


    thank you for your advices!

    One of my sites went from PR0 to PR3 to PR4. It wasn't that hard to get to PR4 'cause I didn't really do any link building before the last PR update. Just keep building links, you'll get there.

    Try to buy links from PR5+ and you will get what you're looking for.
    Directories are good for new sites but for PR I don't think so because most of their inner pages has only PR0 to PR3 .
    Exchange links with high PR so that you will get what you're looking for.
    Goodluck on your goal!

    Check out the PR of the pages on which your links are displayed.Only the PR from such pages will help you increase your PR. Also its not necessary that google counts all the links that you have.For eg. check your site with site:www. yoursite. com on google as well as yahoo. You will find that yahoo will have greater number.
