Anyways, thanks for letting me share!

Onward to seven eh, which isn't that hard.
Getting to PR 7 will take a little longer than 6, but it shouldn't be all that difficult with a few really good links.

My home page was up to PR 7 for a while this month, but now it's back to PR 6. The PR drop doesn't seem to matter much, though--I've moved up in SERP rankings for my most important keywords (the ones where I wasn't already #1, anyway), and I'm seeing a slight bump in Google referrals.
IMHO, if you have a site with a lot of pages and your home page isn't all-important, the PR of the home page doesn't matter that much except to the degree that it's passed along to internal pages. It's the targeted traffic generated by those internal pages that really counts.

Congrats! all of you PR 6,7 achievers. Can you please share with me whats that you have done to go there?(if its not a proprietory knowledge!).
My home page has links from Yahoo, the ODP, and a fair number of related editorial sites. I've also found backlinks from a few public libraries, university libraries, and a PR8 directory used by librarians. I also have some reciprocal links (nearly all of them from sites that approached me first). I'd probably have a higher pagerank if I worked harder on reciprocal links, but I feel uncomfortable about writing to strangers and asking for favors. :-)
This approach--"create content, and the links will come"--almost certainly works better for editorial or "content" sites than it does for e-commerce sites. Still, it's worth remembering that internal navigation links can also be useful in boosting the pagerank of your home page and other key pages.
