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

How do you 301 redirect URLs with a hashbang (#!) format? We just lost a ton of pagerank because we thought javascript redirect was the only way! But other sites have been able to do this – examples and details inside
Hi Moz, Here's more info on our problem, and thanks for reading! We’re trying to Create 301 redirects for 44 pages on site.com. We’re having trouble 301 redirecting these pages, possibly because they are AJAX and have hashbangs in the URLs. These are locations pages. The old locations URLs are in the following format: www.site.com/locations/#!new-york and the new URLs that we want to redirect to are in this format: www.site.com/locations/new-york We have not been able to create these redirects using Yoast WordPress SEO plugin v.1.5.3.2. The CMS is WordPress version 3.9.1 The reason we want to 301 redirect these pages is because we have created new pages to replace them, and we want to pass pagerank from the old pages to the new. A 301 redirect is the ideal way to pass pagerank. Examples of pages that are able to 301 redirect hashbang URLs include http://www.sherrilltree.com/Saddles#!Saddles and https://twitter.com/#!RobOusbey.

By giving link do we lose our PageRank?
Hi moz fans,
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | atakala
I'm asking this question because I've faced this (http://thatsit.com.au/seo/tutorials/a-simple-explanation-of-pagerank)
Till now I know that when we link to a page we **don't **lose our PageRank, we just give a PageRank but not to lose it .
I mean let's say If we have a page PR 1, and another page B which is pagerank 0,
And If we give link a to page B from page A, At the end of the iteration, we have Page A PR 1 and Page B PR 0,85.
**But **he said above the link If we give a link to a page, it would result like this.
Page A PR 0,15 and Page B PR 0,85. Which one is true ?
Thank you!0 -

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

Do Outbound NoFollow Links Reduce the Page's Ability to Pass PageRank?
I get the recent change where adding a nofollow to one link wont increase the juice passed to other links. I'm wondering if nofollow still passes link-juice into the void. i.e. if a page has $10 of link-juice and has one link then regardless of whether this link is follow or nofollow will the page will leak the same juice? Specifically, Is this site benefitting from having a nofollow on the links in it's car buyer's checklist: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/mitsubishi/diamante/auction-480341592.htm
