You need links from other websites. If you can get lots of higher PR sites to link to you, you'll get a higher PR in the next google PR update.

Naked links or for which keywords ?

That's not how it works, mang. Seriously. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of PageRank. Rather than tell you the answer, I just recommend you do some research. Best of luck with your project

Seriously though, I think the hobbster's point was key, in that you probably ought to evaluate what you're actually doing before you think about things like PR. I mean, what value are you going to provide with this directory, what will distinguish it from the fifty gazillion other web directories out there? Maybe you've thought about this, I don't know. If not, you should. Start with, what can I offer, be engaged in/passionate about, etc. Not, what can I reproduce and build links to so I can make money.

That would be my take. And, by way of disclaimer, please see my avatar.

more importantly...

why does "girl in pink toque with big booty" not bring up that ass-tastic girl in CCarters sig?

I think, easier said than done, because from the start, I tried to make my directory unlike other directories.

Guerilla, did your CommSEO directory go down to PR n/a?

It's still showing as a PR 5 for me.

step by step. I don't think you should start with paid directory. A free one is better at the beginning

Starting as a paid directory from the very beginning can help maintain the Directory quality..

Unless you bring something really new to web directories, that actual people will use, move on to something else.

Go after some long tail keywords for your site and give some SEO to them. If your site is new, than go with free submission for some time.

You scared me!

I don't care about PR myself, but I know everyone else does.

Thanks.
