Q: How Do I Get PR For My Site?

While the answer to this question may seem incredibly simple, it can be very difficult to do.

The answer is to get links to your blog or web site.

However, in the process you don't want to be caught buying or selling links. You also don't want to be caught using artificial link building strategies. You know what I mean. Many sites operate a low quality links page or a free-for-all page that you can get a link from. Don't do it.

The reason it is very difficult to get links is that you have to provide enough quality on your site that people spontaneously decide to link to you. If you are writing a blog this can be done by participating in the community of blogs that share a topic similar to yours. If you aren't blogging, it gets harder!

Don't despair. You can also start down the path towards accumulating PR by submitting your site to various directories or by submitting content to article directories. These link building strategies, and others - such as forum post signatures, and social bookmarking are a safe way to get started.

Oh, in case you didn't know it, the higher the PR of the page that links to you the more help it will be in transferring PR to you. As well, the fewer outbound links there are on a page the more your site will benefit from being linked to from that page. This doesn't mean you should be all that choosy, but keep these factors in mind when considering the value you are receiving from a link.
