I haven’t done much link building, though, so my blog here isn’t a great example of building high PR. But I have a few quick tips to help increase your site’s overall PageRank, and you can probably get them done within a week or two at most!

Blogging can be very rough, I’m not going to lie.

There are many social news and social media sites popular for submitting your news articles. Digg and Reddit are the first 2 that come to mind, but there are tons more without thinking too hard. Some rank higher with PR9 and PR8 settings, while there are easier places to hit the front page ranking PR5 and PR6.
