    I have gone from PR4 to PR2 8 months ago
    then on next update sometime in february from PR2 > PR0
    but then I realized that google was penalizing me for selling PR
    and I got rid of them (sold links)

    The PR has not gone up these last 6 months

    even though my SERPs are excellent ranking top 20 in google
    for a VERY competitive keyphrase ...

    has anyone succeeded in increasing their PR after
    PR0 penalty ??

    any tips ?

    I think you will not be selling links in the future so what is the point in PR if you rankings are great??

    PR
    I think you need to look at the big picture... Better serps... or better PR.. good SERP results bring the traffic not PR. PR is just a bedtime snack

    I agree with both of you
    and I don't want to be selling links anymore but,

    people are afraid to exchange links with that site

    for a more detailed story on this take a look
    at my latest blog post
    http://geoland.org/2008/05/pr0-the-new-leprosy/

    so any tips in a successful PR increase ??

    I personally dont do link exchanges. The only links I receive are from commenting on related blogs/forums. I have not been around enough to experience the full effects of the PR updates but it appears as though im doing something right at this present time.
