All points dead on. I don't really care about the little green bar. Been stuck on PR2 for 2 years now. But I concentrate on organic positioning on hundreds of KWs and this is moving me up, which is the real goal. If the green bar gets longer in the process, thats a nice side benefit. Good article.

Kalena is right in advising Penny to take a look at her SEO campaign as a whole instead of focusing the attention on bumping up her page rank.

I think to summarise this comment "ask how you can increase your rankings, traffic and conversions instead" is far more important - don't get obsessed with pagerank and even alexa rank, they aren’t worth much anymore.

You can try yo submit your site to Dmoz. But, that depends on luck sometimes, since the link is free and editors are volunteers. You can make the site more authoritative, so that, Dmoz editor likes to link to your site. It can be design tweaks, authoritative contents, or any other thing to Dmozize your site according to their guideline on http://www.dmoz.org/add.html One trick to get Dmoz listing, you can try translating the site into another language. So, if you have a Korean Version of the site and from Australia, then you can easily get listed in http://www.dmoz.org/World/Korean/%EC%A7%80%EC%97%AD,%EA%B5%AD%EA%B0%80/%EC%98%A4%EC%84%B8%EC%95%84%EB%8B%88%EC%95%84/%ED%98%B8%EC%A3%BC/ (the Korean category for Australia), because you might be the rare few. But, be sure to link the Korean page, back to the main page. If it is not possible, you can try buying links from Yahoo Directory, Business.com, and BOTW.com. They have high PR pages you can get links to by paying. This is just a short cut. But, always remember that relevant traffic is more valuable than high PR or traffic. So, Kalena or Peter mentioned.
