I have struggled with getting a page rank quickly over the years. After much trial and error (mostly error), I have found that backlinks are key.

I am very interested in innovation and entrepreneurship so I began a website on how entrepreneurs can use technology to start or grow a new business. It turns out the topic is interesting to a lot of people. As a result, the site has quite a few backlinks (including subscriptions). To my surprise, the site received a page rank of 4 after five weeks online.

I agree with GeekLad that content is critical but backlinks seem to be even more important to Google.

That's interesting how your PR is lower, but you've moved up on the SERPS
but with a lower PR. It makes you wonder if PR really means what it used
to. I do know that "freshness" does seem to have some effect on the SERPS.
Are your higher ranking article on the SERPS more recent, or are your older
posts there as well?

Great tips. My Blog's had various amounts of PR from when it first started. From zero to four, and everything in between. I noticed that my page rank was higher when I had a higher number of back links. I'm getting more traffic than ever, but have a lower PR. Have tried increasing post frequency, but id doesn't seem to help. All of my content is original, but I have noticed that it is now syndicated in many places which may have caused my ranking in the SERPS to increase but PR to decrease, its hard to say.
