What Paula said (about on-site SEO) is important, and probably more important than Page Rank (PR). The reason I say this is, firstly, because PR is nothing more than a google index, and it dosent affect other search engines. Secondly, if you have good content and on-site SEO, the PR should increase by itself naturally (ie. people will link to you). Thirdly, on-site SEO plays an important part in keyword relevancy, and hence it largely determines how your website is placed on search engine results pages.


PR is important, though, for Google. For new sites, it can really boost traffic, as it determines crawl rates (or so us SEO specialists assume). Google is supposed to index more pages, and crawl deeper into your site, when you have higher page rank.

How do you increase it? Well thats simple: you just get sites with PR to link to you. Your site will get part of their PR. The more sites with PR that link to you, the more PR you will get.
