Just the other day Shiphire and KS and many other people ask me about google pagerank. They were frustrated that their google page rank is 0. Which means that they cant blog for money, especially when advertisers look at your Google PR. GooglePR is a rank to evaluate your website importance on the WWW. Higher PR means your website has many ‘quality’ backlinks, people reach to your site easier. They are rated 1-10/10, 10 being the highest rank.
One thing to keep in mind is that, Google updates the page rank every certain times( or after few months once). It is also important to submit your site to various search engines or portal such as yahoo, live.com and most importantly, google.com.
Up to date, no one knows exactly how they calculate Google PR. Some sources even say that they have a mathematical formula to calculate PR. Kenkai dot com did a good review about how google page rank can roughly be calculated(minus the equation which will kill ur brains).

Compare PR Values
Moving one step further, we are often asked what a PR4 link is worth, or a PR5 link is worth compared to a PR3 link, for example, so to try and make this easy to understand, we have listed the PR3 equivalents below.

Even so, this is just a roughly estimate on how they are calculated. Here are the few ways recommended to keep your PR up or maintain your PR.
We would say that since Update Jagger, it is worth considering a link from a web page of PageRank Two or above, as long as it is:
- On focus with your product or service
- The website’s index page has a PR of 4 or above
- There are less than 50 links on the page
- There are no undesirable external links on the page
- There are no nofollow tags on the links
- There is no robots metatag on the page with the content,” noindex, nofollow”
- There is no javascript redirect on the link
- The link is not redirected
However, while you can go link hunting for months to look for good quality blogs with high page rank, the best is just to blog your way through.
A post a day keeps your blog alive. Frequently updated blogs = fun quality posts = more readers
Meanwhile, just have fun blogging and dont get too frustrated. 
THAT WAS IT, until GOOGLE recently changed their algorithm to penalize those who sell links out on their site, or link farm.
Those who got hit hard by Google’s recent crackdown got really frustrated and furious. Take me for example, my adrianchoychoy.blogspot.com *ahem* source of my income for emocha has been hit from PR3 to PR2 to finally PR0! and emocha.net got hit to PR4 from PR5.
NOW for penalizing us,
this morning ive seen the most error from Google- around 10 times.
HOHO! KARMA! Im telling you, KARMA!
lol
