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.

Am I better off with ten links from one site or one link from ten sites?
I am writing a series of linked-back articles for a highly-ranked web publisher, but wonder if I'd be better off sharing the articles across different sites. My goal is to grow our domain authority and SEO rankings.

Linking strategy between my own sites
Hi, I have one main site, let's call it food.com I also have 10 smaller sites, let's call them mexicanfood.com, indianfood.com, italianfood.com etc food.com is on its own separate dedicated server the 10 smaller sites are all on a shared IP in hostgator I don't want Google to think that I have created the 10 sites for only purpose of creating links to each other. So, would you recommend that all those 10 sites link to each other? or should there be no interlinking within those 10 same IP domains? What about linking from those 10 sites to my main site? How should I structure my own backlinks not to get penalized by Google ?

PPC Landing pages and SEO landing pages query
We do a fair amount of work on PPC and because of this a lot of our PPC landing pages also do quite well in SEO. We are thinking that the landing pages do well because they get a lot of traffic from PPC and therefore, maybe google can index and take note of these pages quicker? The pages that usually shoot right up the rankings are new pages used for long tailed keywords. So I have a few questions: Does the traffic from PPC actually have any effect on SEO rankings? If we were to create a page that was to act solely as an SEO landing page, would google take note if there was no traffic? Would simply linking from our main site to the landing page be enough to give it a bit of authority, in which we can build upon? Thanks in advance.
