Not so new site - need advice

[pappleby]

Hi.
Thanks for all the information you provide on this forum. I found most articles very informative.

I have a listed site which has a pr5 but, I'm trying to get my subpages pr5 as well. I believe content is good and relevant keywords are also good but I'm doing something wrong or missing some strategy and would like advice.

If anyone is interested, please look at

Please provide some advice. I don't mind criticism as long as its constructive :-)

I've found other sites with no relevant content rank highly and thought that maybe I have too much relevant content on each page. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
Pauline.

PR is a function of who links to you and what their PR is. The PR of any page is usually one less than the highest PR linking into that page, at least that's been my observation. So the only way to raise the PR on your inner pages is to get some links to those specific pages from higher PR pages.

Personally, I think it's not where the focus should be. PR is not all that important. More important is how you're listed in the Search Engines. HOW people link to you is just as important, if not more so, than the PR. For my business, a link from any page, no matter its PR, about "Web Application Templating Systems", with a link to me using that phrase as the anchor text, is much more valuable than someone who simply drops a link to me with no explanation, using my url as the anchor text, from a blog about pet cats.

Content is also very important, as has been stated over and over. Adding content to your site would be time better spent than trying to get higher PR on your inner pages.

But that's just my two cents and I'm sure other people will add theirs or argue with me.
