PageRank (or PR) is a Google trademark. Google ranks every page indexed in its database. But all the newbies, start from ZERO. That is, if a page is newly indexed in Google, it would have a PageRank of ZERO or rather, N/A would be displayed when you try to check your PR.
If you don’t care about making money online, you should be the last person to give a thought to your PR. Otherwise, if you are a `making money online’ enthusiast, PageRank is one of the most important parameters of your site. PR is entirely based upon the backlinks to your site. Precisely, it depends upon the PR of the pages linking to you and the number of ‘Out bound links’ on the pages linking to you. You can find the detailed PR algorithm at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank.
I received a PR of 2 within 4 months. A non zero PR is a definite plus when it comes to selling links and writing reviews. Also, this will help you in your SEO practices. Following are the simple steps you need to follow:
-> Submit to as many directories as possible.
-> Submit to social bookmarking sites.
-> Buy some high PR links at tnx.net (Cheapest links are available over there)
-> Submit a press release at PRweb.com (This would give you a backlink of at least PR3)
Within a maximum of 4 months, you will achieve a non zero PageRank.
