Page Rank Suggestions
mdasen: The basic factor is how important your site is.  Important sites get higher PageRanks.I know that's not the answer you wanted, but it's the truth.  Lots of people have schemes.  They might work for a little while, but Google figures them out and often punishes participants.The best information can be found here: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answe...In basic: Links to you from reputable sources help you.  Having your pages have good content for users helps you.  Doing anything to manipulate Google will hurt you eventually.  Hiding things (like with CSS), trying to load up on keywords, duplicating content, and other sneaky things hurt you.  Hiding content behind a registration or other thing a search engine can't do hurts you.  Being browsable with a text browser helps you.Google's software is advanced.  If you put something in an H1, it will realize that it's important to your page.  However, if you then resize it to 10px, it's likely to pick up that you're using H1s inappropriately as the Googlebot now grabs CSS as well.And PageRank often isn't as important as other factors.  For example, let's say you want users to find your site when they search for "blog".  If people are linking to you with the line "There are cool accounts at [site name]!", that's not going to count much to the keyword "blog".  However, if people are linking to you with "Get a [free blog] over at site name!" it'll help a lot more.  The fact is that one doesn't care about PageRank so much as one cares about where they get placed in results for certain keywords.Most of it is just common sense.  If your site has compelling content, it will be seen positively.  If it doesn't, it won't.  It becomes harder and harder every day to fool Google.  I suggest not trying.  Best case, it boosts you for a short while.  Worst case, you get delisted.
