Make sure when you are placing links first make up good anchor texts with your keywords in it.
Or not, a tonne of incoming links with exact match keywords might raise a few flags. Natural links tend to have brand names, web addresses, etc... in them, and generic things like "click here".
I'm not saying it's not a relevance signal but it's certainly a lot less of one than it was. By all means get a few exact matches, partial and phrase matches but I'd mostly go for the relevance through the site/page content and the fact that it's relevant, trusted sites/pages that are linking in... and not so much concern with the anchor text.

Hey...
First off all i wanna say dont get to hangup about pagerank. I have a site where i only put some links in high pagerank sites of my own in the footer and some blog comments and it already has pagerank 4 .
I just started this site and it does not get much traffic because the links are with an anchor text wich is not generating much traffic. So the pagerank 4 is nice to see but does not bring me traffic.
So if you want to get an higher pagerank just get some good links from good sites and you will get your pagerank. However it think you want your site to generate more traffic and therefore have higher ranking with your keywords. Make sure when you are placing links first make up good anchor texts with your keywords in it.
Your pagerank will not change right away because you need to wait for the new google pagerank update wich will take a few months i think because i think they updated it not to long ago.

As far as I can see the PA for your page is 21, and your DA is 10.
The SEOmoz toolbar tells me that you do not have that many external pages linking to your site, which is a good way for increasing page rank (and also traffic). So that could be a suggestion. Put some effort into getting external pages to link to your site, perhaps having some link exchange with other relevant sites?
Also your page does not have any meta description. You should definately add this. And also, you should consider changing your page title to a more descriptive title.
"HomeEscapade Articles, Reviews and Opinions" should perhaps be more focused on the keywords you wish to be found on, and have the company name as the last word in the title. The most important keywords should be mentioned at the front of the string.
The homepage has no
tag, which is also recommendable. You can have a headline containing important words for the site.
Hope this can help you a bit!

Hi Michael
Assuming this is Google PageRank that you're referring to, I'd suggest not paying much attention to it.
This is because it's only updated usually 3 or 4 times per year and is the public PageRank that Google occasionally publish, not Google's up-to-date internal PageRank for websites.
- There are alternatives that are more significant and meaningful, such as SEOmoz's Domain Authority, Page Authority, MozRank and MozTrust.
A really useful resource on SEO Ranking Factors is "The Periodic Table of SEO Ranking Factors" over on Search Engine Land.
Also, check out the "2011 SEO Ranking Factors" here on SEOmoz.
Making use of the SEOmoz Pro Tools to help with ideas and strategy to increase your website's authority signals will be far more beneficial than focusing on PageRank.
Hope that helps,
Regards
Simon

Gradual Increase in Domain Authority After Domain Migration But No Improvement in Organic Traffic Yet
We migrated our domain in early April and simultaneously added an SSL certificate. Everything was done by the books. All redirects implemented perfectly, very few errors. Google notified via Search Console. Despite all steps being done perfectly our domain authority dropped from 24 to 8. Organic traffic dropped from about 80 per day to about 10. Each month domain authority increases by 2 or 3. We are now back up to a DA of 16. But no improvement in organic traffic yet. At what point should organic traffic start to return? Hopefully the consistent improvement in DA is a good sign. I have been told that adding SSL and moving the domain at the same time was a very bad idea. We are starting link building next week. Hopefully that will help further. Any ideas as to when this situation will improve? Needless to say it has been awful for our business.

Is there any ranking benefit to buying and redirecting high PageRank domains?
Hello, I'm interested in learning how to assume ownership of a site without Google resetting the PageRank and the links back to zero. I've read that buying sites is one of the most powerful SEO "shortcuts" you can employ, but can be tricky. I've heard that, unfortunately, buying an existing domain and 301 redirecting for SEO credit is not that simple. When the WHOIS registration information on the newly purchased domain is updated to reflect its transfer to you, the new owner, that domain will almost immediately be reset by Google to a PageRank=0. That's the standard practice when a domain changes hands. Since Google is a domain registrar, obviously, change of ownership information is readily available for their use in factoring it into their algorithms. If you decide to 301 redirect the new domain to another domain you already own, you will get credit for the site's current incoming link profile, at least in the short-term. However, this purchased domain will eventually reset to PR=0 (usually during the next PageRank update) AND you will then get no credit for all of those links post-transfer. What is your experience with buying and redirecting domains?

Cannot Increase Ranking For a Keyword Phrase
I've been working on the keyword phrase, "Niceville Assisted Living" for the website: http://nicevilleassistedliving.com and my increase in rankings has pretty much stalled. When I first started working on this website, a lot of the content was duplicated (which we took care of by plugging in unique content), there were locations listed on the homepage that were throwing my rankings off, I've created blog posts each week (we've even tried posting one post every day for a week), added the Facebook feed to the homepage, corrected errors in the theme, and I'm trying to get a resources page built. I know content is a very, very large part of SEO.. but it seems like the content I am plugging in isn't helping. There aren't any errors in Webmaster Tools and my keyword density is fairly close to the website ranking #1. I think my biggest problem is backlinks. Other websites have quite a few whereas the website I'm working on doesn't have any (I'm working on that, but the number I have doesn't compare to the websites ranking in the top three). I'm stumped as to what to do next. Does anyone have suggestions to improve the ranking for this keyword phrase?

Sudden drop in PageRank to Unranked
Howdy, A clients website has just dismorning (8/FEB/13) gone from index page PR:4 to Unranked including all inner pages on the domain. There is no contact on GWT or penalty email from Google. All organic rankings seem to be fine, and i read about the GWT backlink glitch earlier. Should I expect the worst? Thanks.. Mark

How to increase the traffic ?
Hi Everyone, I am a bit a newbie in SEO and I read different articles and comments regarding the SEO but I am a bit stuck to get traffic through www.organicur.com. It's a really new website build through Prestashop (1-2 month). I used the tool keyword analysis to look after keywords not to competitive. I used the on-page optimization of Seomoz until to have A for every pages and I have started to build backlinks. But the traffic doesn't improve at all. Does that mean my keywords are not relevant enough ? Do I need to wait and carry on the links building. Do I need to go through PPC ? Thanks a lot for your reply, K

How to best utilize network of 50 sites to increase traffic on main site
Hey All, First off I wanna thank everyone who has responded to all my previous questions! Love to see a community that is so willing to help those who are learning the ropes! Anyways back to my point. We have a main site that is a PR 3 and our main focal point for lead generation. We recently acquired 50 additional sites (all with a PR of 1-3) that we would like to use as our own little back linking campaign with. All the domains are completely relevant to our main site as well as specific pages within our main site. I know that reciprocal links will get me no where and that google is quickly on to the attempted 3 way link exchange. My question is how do I best link these 50 sites to not only maintain there own integrity and PR but also assist our main site. Thanks All!
