How important is traffic for the PR.

My site is getting stuck on PR 0

Firstly i have put backlinks on my site - the bot even crawled - but i dint have any changes to my PR.

So i guess - is it the traffic that is disturbing my PR
I get no traffic

You get no traffic because you have no PR. But the level of PR a page has doesn't have anything to do with its PR score.

What you need is links. As you get new links, your PR will increase. As it increases, you will hopefully begin to show up for some related searches, which will bring you some traffic.

Hi, Spirits999, just thought I'd add that WebGuerrilla means inbound links, i.e., links on other sites that point to your site. Links on higher PR pages will give your site more PR, and the anchor text of the link will boost your ranking for those words. If you didn't get welcomed on your first post, welcome to WebmasterWorld!

How long has your site been up? It does take awhile for Google to assign PR.

If the site was previously owned by someone else you may be suffering an expired domain penalty.Find this out by searching for you domain in archive.org .If its there then send an email to webmaster@google.com and put "reinclusion request" in the subject line and hope for the best.

It is serious and whether a email helps is all upto the grace of google.
If the domain already had a ban before it expired then your chances are slim.If it was clean (in the eyes of google) then you have a good chance of being reincluded
(I am guessing again):)

I should explain that when google notice that a domain has expired and has been reregisted(especially if it expired March-May 03)they put in the sin bin.This is to prevent unscrupulous people(like myself)buying expired domains to benefit from the sites already attained backinks.
It seems for all purposes that its tooo hard for google to
just discount these backinks.

Why don't you do what cabbie suggests. Write to Google and ask if they have a ban on your domain. If they do, ask if they will remove it since you are a new owner. If it is not banned, then just wait until the next PR update and hopefully you won't see 0.
