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.

Page Authority
Hi Moz! My landing page has 30 page rank. However, none of my other pages have any page rank at all even though they are ranking high? Could you please explain this concept to me.

Page Authority or Domain Auothority? Which one is more importan when having an external link pointing to your page?
Im about to make a deal with another site. We are going to exchange some links from some blog posts. In order to make a fair deal, I assessed some metrics for our posts. Basically, this site have better Domain Authority than my site (30 vs 25), but the page authority of their blog post in which they want to insert their links pointing to my site is 1 for each of them. On the other hand, the page authority of my blog posts they are interested in is 13. My dilema is about being resonable to set a good deal for both of us. So, my question is, which one matters the most when it comes to external links? page authority or domain authority? My intuition is that I’m in a better position than my counterpart. Thanks.

Moving off page blog to on page blog
Hi, I was using free wordpress blog and i have around 18-20 content on the blog. Now, we've managed to have blog on our main website which has www.mysite.com/blog extension. We did this so we could create more links on the website/ I am a little unsure how to move the blog now. Should we copy & paste the blog articles from old blog to new one and remove them from old blog? I am just not quite sure how would it effect the links. If i keep the old articles on the old blog and create new articles for the new one, it'll take me a while before i get them written. Any recommendation appreciated. Thanks

How does this site rank higher than a seemingly better one??
Ok, I'm really trying to wrap my self around all this SEO stuff. Right when I think I'm grasping it, I come across something like this. When running a keyword difficulty report for the term "essay editing", the top two results are: www.papercheck.com/essay-editing.html www.gradesaver.com/essay-editing/ The first result has a PA of 37, 2 linking page domains, DA of 48, and 197 root linking domains. The second has a PA of 65, 32 linking page domains, DA of 68, and 2,572 root linking domains. What the heck is going on here!?!? I can't understand it. I checked anchor text and that doesn't appear to be it. The only thing I can find is that the papercheck has a link from a site (marketwire) with a DA of 90 while the #2 guy's highest linking domain has a DA of 60. However, I have a really hard time wrapping my head around this considering the total linking domain stats compared to one another. Any insight is much appreciate... this is frustrating trying to grasp these situations! Thanks!

Are there benifits to aquiring domain names with keywords of a niche site and redirecting them to the niche site?
I f i purchased a domain with keyword another one of my sites targeted and redirected it to that site are there benefits in doing so? & as long as the domain contained the keywords would it matter if the domain name contained another word?. also would it be better to put just a few articles on the site and then point keywords in the article to the niche site?.
