SEO, please help with my page rank question!?

[Jake]

Don't get too focused on pagerank, Google has demoted it's importance and only updates page ranks a few times a year now.

What really matters is your ranking for specific important search keywords, you should track your ranking and the ranking of competing sites on a regular basis.

The Rank Checker plugin for the Firefox browser is one example.

The rank checker tool in the limited free trial version of the SEO Power Suit, this tool is available for multiple operating systems. The full version will save data that can be used in comparisons later.

You would also want to compare backlinks of competing sites using tools like yahoo site explorer:
https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites
or Open Site Explorer.

Quality of backlinks is more important that quantity, 100 quality backlinks might do more than 10,000 junk bot links.
