I am an web novice but have a website that has been active for 1 year. some pages have a PR of 1 while other pages have a grey PR box. I read that a grey PR means that Google hasnt indexed the page. After such a long period that seems strange. Is something wrong with the site or is this normal? Also, what is a realistic time frame for all pages of a site to be indexed? Also, my web guy states that you do not get a PR of 2 until all pages are indexed and that a PR of 2 will add significant credibility to your site and increase your rankings. Is this true? Finally, I am working on building strong backlinks now, will this help speed the process of having all pages indexed and moving to a PR of 2? Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated and Thank you in advance for your help.

I've never heard that before. | I am working on building strong backlinks now, will this help speed the process of having all pages indexed and moving to a PR of 2? |

Yep, that's exactly what you need. PageRank is built on links. The more (quality) links, the better your PageRank.

Thanks jimbeetle. I appreciate it Also it true that a site has to be indexed fully to have PR of 2 and does this make a significant difference?

Google has indicated in the past, that pagerank is solely a function of incoming links

I know this is basic but are links the key to Google indexing the pages?

Wow! I'm really sorry. The first question I meant to answer was: | my web guy states that you do not get a PR of 2 until all pages are indexed |
|

Yep, pages must have incoming links to be indexed. The more (quality) incoming links, the higher the PR; the higher the PR, the pages will be spidered more often and stick in the index.
