I think the most effective ways to get higher PR is through trade links with relevant sites. What do you think?

I think page rank is as important as what I will have for breakfast on the 3/5/2015, and no, I have no idea what is happening on that date nor does it have any significance to me.

I Agree with ThailandForum ... men don't care about PageRank ... it's not what are you looking for ...

If you have a website that sells ... look for Conversion Rate
If you have a website that's just informative .... look for visitor (If you have good content, put your link in social media)

Yes I do agree, what would you say is the next biggest helper?

^If you agree then alexa is for you, the idiots page value.

"If you agree then alexa is for you, the idiots page value." ... i didn't get it

The biggest help is make relevant content for your user ... Write some good article, submit then ... find some partners in your niche (If you provide information about cars, talk with owner's of wheel's site, sound for car, make a agree ... you promove them and vice-versa)

You have a lot of options ... study and choose one.

To get high pr, you have also to get more backlinks for your site.

you had me in stitches with that one

And you can also change links with others.

haha, The most effective way to get higher PR is of course purchasing links. But there is some tricky ways to get good links. For example, hide a link in some valueable flash and post it to your site. Do not include any watermark in the flash, then some competitors in the niche may steal them and post it to their sites. Then you get highly related links from your competitors' sites.

What if these are all no-follow?

For the PR jucie you need do-follow links, right?

yea as dofollow give to godd & immediate effect to your site . . . .
but its very long time to seen google's PR update.

Use Google search.

the more quality links the higher chance of getting pr...

I've already said it in the nearby topic.. but the strongest tactic to get a high PR is to find blogs/websites relevant to your niche and write guest posts for them.. with a link to your site..

- link exchange is not counted by google
- google does it's best to recognize when a link was purchased.. so it's very hard to buy lot's of links that google will pass through.. and each day google is getting smarter with that..

the common marketing tactic for the website that I personally prefer is:

1. Make your website interesting, useful & compelling
2. Support your website with social media (FaceBook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg, LiveJournal, Myspace, Youtube etc.) - for if you will not share interesting stuff on your website with others - noone will know about you... and if people know about you.. they may post a link somewhere..
3. Write guestposts for others & promote your website everywhere on the web where that is possible.
4. Track your niche with Google Alerts and participate in all the conversations on your topic.. post links to your website in comments where that is necessary (DON'T SPAM)

so basically a smart combination & hard work over all these factors will get your website everything:

-hight PR;
-traffic;
-brand;
-trust.

Your points are excellent but as i know getting backlinks from irrelevant pages can increase pagerank of website too. But if a website gets backlins from relevant website, its better and can help this website to rank higher. But irrelevant backlinks can improve pagerank as relevant ones.

why are you think a lot of pr, it is not inportant, google has been 5 mouths no updated PR

@hanlz : do you mean months? and i don't think PR is not important because of that, it is just not important at all but not because google haven't update it

you don't have to trade links with relevant sites to get higher PR, trade with any site can get your PR higher
