Subject: What is a good PR ranking?
I'm somewhat new to PR rankings.. Been doing web stuff for awhile but
never really into the SEO (others have worried about that). Now I need
to know some things.

What is a considered a good PR? And what are certain things that each
level of page rank would have: example PR3 would have x, x, SEO type
things done and x, x, x links/traffic/etc..

I know a certain PR doesn't for sure mean you have certain things...
but just in general.

I don't think there is any such thing really as a "good PR".

If there is such a thing, it is probably 1 notch higher than what your
site has at the moment!

Like poverty/wealth, it's not really about absolute levels, or even
relative to the "average".

It's more about heading in the right direction.

I certainly do not think that anyone should take published PR too
seriously.

Two sites that I look after both have a PR of 4.  One is about seven
years old, aims to serve a global audience and has about 100 pages.
The other is about 18 months old, aims to serve just the western
suburbs of one city and has about 10 pages.

Google must have some objective reasons for ranking the way they do,
although it is not always obvious.

A couple of things that I am sure of (or at least I think I might be
sure of!):

--- many sites doe not take full advantage of what is easily available
to them;

--- a few good quality, high relevance links are worth far more than a
shed-load of random directory links.

Also it is relatively easy to go from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 but you are
likely to find it a bigger struggle to keep increasing your PR UNLESS
you can achieve some sort of momentum - some way of earning links
without even asking for them.

Another factor with most high PR sites is that the web is only one of
multiple marketing channels.  Many high performing sites have other
ways of driving traffic to their site - print media, ads, stories,
press releases, TV/radio, etc.
