How can I Improve My Site Page Rank?

How can I improve my site page rank? We were a three now a two as of today. How can I get it back to three at least or more?

Hi Timothy,
What you're looking at is the Toolbar Page Rank for an individual URL on your site. That's a number that's updated 2-4 times a year, and is only a semi-accurate representation of the internal ranking that Google keeps.
Like Steve says, you want to focus on if your traffic, rankings, conversions, etc. have changed.

I do not have data to prove it, but it should a positive "brand" signal for google. and that would be smart
-
Even searching for your website through Google instead is a trick for improving PR instead of typing the entire URL in the browser.
That is flat out "wrong".

Hi Timothy, I would like to say first that regular SEO is needed to keep the pagerank of the site stable. And even if it does change then there is no need to get worried because you can get back on the track very fast. Get some good backlinks, try for guest blog posting on other established websites, try to get your website's link on do follow blogs and also make use of the web 2.0 properties.These activities are capable of changing the site's rank faster than the other means.Get more useful content on your website and then publicize those contents further through newsletters and press releases.Even searching for your website through Google instead is a trick for improving PR instead of typing the entire URL in the browser.

PageRank is about one thing and one thing only - Links. Period.that said, PR is one part of a much larger ranking algorithm that places your site in it's spot in the SERPs. Since you are watching your Toolbar PR (which is only really useful to people that sell links to people that think PR is everything there is to ranking) you are probably watching your rankings and your traffic. I'd wager that neither of those has moved at all.
You can read all about the original PageRank formula here - http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html I think that everyone that does SEO - especially if you are selling it as a service, should be required to read and understand that whitepaper before accepting a single penny from a client.
Something else, PageRank is named for Larry Page, not web pages.

Page rank that you see in toolbar does not represent actual google "pr" and does not affect your ranking.
Get some good links! Especially from trusted high pr websites and wait 4-6 month until next pr update.

What will the SECOND link from a site do for me
Say I have an opportunity to get another link from a high authority site that has already linked an important article from me (a page I REALLY want to rank well). Now a month later, they are interviewing me and asking what I'd like to link. I have plenty of good content I can offer, but I really want that page they already linked to to climb a bit in the rankings. So my question is, how is that second link best spent? Would linking to the same page give it a boost? Or does Google see it as "oh. Another link from the same domain. Yippee." Would that link do more for a different page on my site at this point?

Domain and page backlinks
Hello Everyone, I am new at SEO, and I am a bit confused with the following situation: I have domain, wordpress site on it, and I am building backlinks to it (testing). I do not have "home" page among pages in wordpress, if it means anything. When I build links, i use different anchor texts, but they all point to http://somethingsomething.net -Ahrefs shows that I have 830 backlinks from 45 domains, to my URL, which is http://somethingsomething.net (it is also my site's home page address) -MOZ;s Open site explorer, on the other hand, shows the following: 8 internal links and 0 external links for page specific metrics, and 878 total links 0 external for root domain metrics. -Google Webmaster tools shows 10 external links pointing to my site Please can someone explain to me what is happening here? Thanks a lot

Link to my site not showing up in Open Site Explorer
If a link to my site on another domain does not appear in the list of links gathered by the Open Site Explorer, does that mean that this backlink will not be crawled by search engine bots? Is there anything I should do to make sure that this link IS crawled and/or recognized by search engines coughGooglecough?

Is it a bad idea to build unique sites to build credibility for your main site?
It is hard to sum up the question in one line, but basically my company has bought several descriptive domains that we would like to build out into microsites that link back to our main site. For example...say we are a florist. Our main site talks about all the different kinds of flowers we have and the work we do. So the idea is to buy weddingflowersdallas.com (example only...) and have a mini site that has the same look and feel as our main site, but has unique content that talks solely about our wedding flower business and has a few links back to our main site. 1. Is this a no no from a google perspective? 2. Is this a good strategy in general? Thanks, David
