What's a realistic Google PageRank for a small site?

The site is about 15-20 pages and is currently ranked a 4. Would it be extremely difficult to move it past a 5 or a 6?? What would be the best process to try and do so??

HI Nacho, why the obsession with Page rank?

The way to push up your page rank is more content, or more links, easy as that.

Is PageRank not a significant factor in google search ranking?

[OldWelshGuy]

Have a read of this thread Nacho, it might help. How important is page rank?

[nacho45]

Thanks. That did answer my questions.

I think you can achieve 5 if you can achieve 4. For 6, you would need lots of work on your content.

If you can get one or two good pr 7 links you can get a pr 6 no problem.

PageRank is about popularity, not size.

My PR ranking system :

PR 0 - dead
PR 1 - comatose
PR 2 - zombie
PR 3 - sentient life form
PR 4 - meaningful
PR 5 - serious
PR 6 - a player
PR 7 - a key site
PR 8 - major site
PR 9 - minor deity
PR 10 - God

Do other sites worship or treat as dead your little site? That's the real question.

To repharase, "what's a realistic PageRank for a minor site?

I'd say 4. Modest attention to a personal homepage can get you 4.

Cline,

Nacho,

In my opinion, for what that's worth, YES PR is still important.

It really is not necessary to have a monstrous site to obtain a high PR. PR is about links NOT content and NOT about the size of your site. In order to obtain the high PR you need to either #1 get a zillion and six links OR #2 get links from high PR sites.

Of course, having a site with good content will improve your chances of getting the links you need.

The most important thing to remember when attempting to achieve the links you will require to gain PR, is that RELEVANCE is even MORE important.

If you can get a high PR through links from relevant sites .... THEN you will have a gold mine.

Interesting about getting links on high page ranked sites.

Do companies that run ads (that are like links) on high page rank sites get brownie points for those links? Or can google tell the difference between an ad link and a non-ad link?

depends on the link if it is a direct link to the target site it is counted, if it is a tracking URL, rarely google follows them and counts them as backlinks,
But google doesnt like people selling links for the purpose of PageRank, For example PHPBB was blocked from passing any pagerank to the site it links, so it happens,
