    If you own the website then learn to negotiate in the right way. You can negotiate as how you want it as long as you get the most relevant yet with good PR.

    Work wisely.

    i thought i was about quantity where some says they'll submit my site to about 500 directories.
    hope those directories with high pr help increase my pr.

    if people don't care about PR, then they shouldn't open, read and reply to threads like this. of course they care.

    Directory submission helps your ranking. Keyword ranking. This helps a lot to increase your websites traffic, if your ranking performs good online.

    thanks Why directory submission exists.

    This is like asking how much "money" does someone need. The answer is so relative. It is dependent on where you're from, what kind of lifestyle you wish to have, etc. The short answer is that the more you have the better. Good luck!

    you can make a PR2 for for a site and only with backlinks from PR0 pages (I speak from experience). Add your site to > 100 good directories and you will see the result. Also the content of your site, the site optimization and the number of the exit links are important for obtaining a good PR. To obtain a PR2 is easy. Hard is to obtain a PR7. Many people says that the PR is not important, but all are looking for a good PR. ;)

    The Page Rank for websites is not solely based on backlinks, now Google has smartened up and decided to include various factors which influence the PR of a website such as the amount of traffic the website gets, how old the website is, where it is located within its search results etc. However on a basic basis if you can maintain steady backlinks to your website you will eventually see your PR go up, it just takes time - Google usually only updates its PR system once every 3 months.

    Very silly question.

    Depends on a number of factors such as link quality not just on the number of links. Do a little more research on link building.

    I check the quality backlinks from my top 5 competitors and build backlinks from the sites these website are getting backlinks and within 3-4 months I surpass all of my competitors. The key is to build quality and laser targetted backlinsk from niche websites.

    Why worry about PR. IMO traffic is more important than the PR of your site.

    Unless you are selling links..

    Besides RELATED backlinks, you will also need good content and quite a few pages on your site. If you think you are going to rank for a competitive keyword with a 5 page site, you are mistaken.

    Also the age of your site play a role.

    PLUS you may want to try a WordPress platform as it ranks quicker than any Web platform out there and Google loves WordPress :)

    pagerank fluctuates so focusing on quality may seem important but really you need to just get links. If you get high pr ones then great but those ones might go down when pr is reset again. Focus on quality content and people will link to you. Get as many backlinks as you can. How many do you need? thousands, depending on your topic

    50 back links is too small, aim for quality back link and continue to do it consistently, you will see improvement within a short period of time.

    50 backlinks might be enough, if they are quality ones. Check your PR again, the PR-update is happening this week, so your PR could be higher than zero now :)
