A: Submit it to all major directories? And then enjoy the backlinks from their PR ranked categories. Is this the best way to start?
B: Buy links on PR sites? Because I tell you, trying to trade links when your new site has PR-0, yeah right, good luck.
What am I not understanding? It would be awesome if you intelligent beings would through some feedback at this junior Marketer.
The no brainer answer to this is to get High PR sites to link to your site.
Easiest way to do this IMO is to write articles and get them published on other highly ranked sites, then place a few links in the article that points back to your site.
It also doesn't show up in the SERPs yet. Don't confuse PR with rank.
PlanetTokyo,
That is interesting that you linked from a PR5 site to your new site and how have PR4! How many other links to your new site are there? ANY? How long did it take to get the PR 5?
Great comments, anyone else know of good place to post news, etc.. to get bot traffic and PR?
As soon as I started learning about PR I went back to take a look at all of the sites I work on and most of them are at least PR5 (with no effort on my part). One is PR6, but that's primarily because the content is updated 4-5 times a day and there are hundreds of inbound links.
The PR4 site I referenced has no other inbound links.
PageRank is not updated in real time so it can take a while to see any movement.

Be carefull with directories if you're after PR. Check the PR of the page your link will likely appear on and also check the source code for frames, rel=no follow , meta tags with "no follow" and other methods to tell the search engines to not follow those links. a lot of directories produced in .asp script also have session IDs that prevent the links from being followed (and don't produce PR either). and because directories often have lots of sub directories before your link appears the PR gets watered down with each one. It's my experience that directories that produce clean links are few and far between.
I seem to remember seeing discussions from GoogleGuy to not buy links either.
Best prospect is to search for good clean PR producing sites with few links. I searched for 2 hours this morning and found 1.

This will work as long as you don't post the article on your own site otherwise you will be receiving the supplemental results penalty for duplicate content.
So Lorel, do you just have links in your newscenters to the places you posted the articles? Like I posted the same article in both PRFREE and PRWEB, should I just have a link to both on my site for news releases?
Thanks,
Duston
