PR 4 and 5 was rather easy, overall, in my experience and PR 6 took a bit of time, but I achieved that for both sites. The way to do it was rather spontaneous. It took a good deal of content of which many widely published through related news sites plus some link exchanges and "friendly" links. However, now I'm looking at the PR7 barrier and thinking whether this may require a bit different and harder strategy, not to mention for PR8. Do people simply buy their way to this (except for sites with a really skyrocketing concept)? Or maybe it requires exactly the same kind of effort as before, only more of it? I would assume that the trick is in getting linked from sites that already have PR 7 or higher, which is harder to find and a bit more expensive to buy. What do you think? Any succesful PR7 site owners around to share a few tips? Thanks Danijel
I have many pr 6 pages and one pr 7 page on my personal site: solomonrothman.com and that should increase with the next pr update, in order to get that high you'll need some links from really powerful authority sites, so you'll have to initiate a successfull viral marketing campagin or link bait. My most powerfull links come from Wikinews, Wikipedia. Another way to build up your pr to a really high level is through content syndication. I just launched a new blog, Sitr Crazy Search Engine Marketing & Website Design in November (see acclivitymarketing.com/blog). We are already syndicated by Webpronews (webpronews.com) and our articles appear on a few other ientry publications like (searchnewz.com). These sites have really high pr and with all the other sites that pick up the stories I keep buildling more and more links. I imagine I'll be up to a pr 6 on the next update and eventually top out at 7 before the year is up and that's all with a new site (old domain, some pr already, but a new site nonetheless with new pages, new design, new name, new everything). I think I'll make that my next blog article topic, tips to getting to a high pr. I provide aggressive SEO & SEM campagins professionally if anyone is interested. If you don't have a blog, you could start there. Get a blog, promote the hell out it, get as many links as possible and try to get your content syndicated. That will surely raise your pr in a hurry. I provide blog creation, optimization, submission and promotion services. Take a look at my alexa rank and you'll see my traffic rank this week was in the top 100,000 (I know HUGE webmaster slant so don't take it too seriously), but anyways Visit: acclivitymarketing.com/blog Good luck buildling links. Raising your pr will take some time. Solomon Rothman
Thanks for good advice solomonrothman. That does make sense. I've got some links from Wikipedia already (seven actually), but not really from wikinews. However we get published a lot recently through LXer.com which is PR 8 because I turned one of the sites into more of a blog on the topic it covers, meaning more frequent stories. Maybe that helps up the PR then. I'll have to look into promoting my content feeds though. I think I haven't used that as much as I could have. Thanks
You should buy high quality pr6, pr7 ,pr8 links for make your site pr7. This needs really big budget.
note: Some pages are www and some are not the PR 7 page is at (www)solomonrothman.com/boywhoneverslept/open-source-files.php PR 6 (www)solomonrothman.com/boywhoneverslept/temp-movie-download-page.php solomonrothman.com/blog/2006/07/02/comments-on-the-open-source-free-movie-boy-who-never-slept/ (www)solomonrothman.com/boywhoneverslept/donathttp://www.solomonrothman.com/boywhoneverslept/press-free-movie.php e-free-movie.php (www)solomonrothman.com/boywhoneverslept/what-is-an-open-source-movie.php solomonrothman.com/blog/2006/06/11/19-day-countdown-to-free-movie-release-of-boy-who-never-slept/ solomonrothman.com/blog/2006/06/11/basics-of-the-liquid-vs-fixed-website-layout-debate-in-modern-website-design/ solomonrothman.com/blog/2006/06/30/announcement-full-movie-boy-who-never-slept-to-be-released-in-the-next-24-hours-as-fully-open-source/ solomonrothman.com/blog/2006/07/02/boy-who-never-slept-status-update/ solomonrothman.com/blog/2006/07/02/boy-who-never-slept-full-length-free-movie-released/ solomonrothman.com/blog/2006/07/12/response-to-extremely-harsh-moral-criticism-of-boy-who-never-slept/ solomonrothman.com/blog/2006/07/14/shooting-script-released-for-boy-who-never-slept-read-screenplay-now/ solomonrothman.com/blog/category/open-source-movies-films/ (note you'll have to use the www. prefix for the main site and no www prefix for the blog, I know confusing but google splits page rank depending on the links subdomain of www or not): Anyways, the popular blog posts end up at 5 or 6 and rank for the keywords in the title. Even competitve terms See "saw 3 movie review" or "saw iii movie review" The personal movie review I posted in my blog out ranks TV guide and thousands of more prominant sites, but besides that's just my personal site devoted to my movies and rants/raves.
