Congrats! Great work on creating the squidoo page. Now all you have to do is take over the other 5 results so your competitors dont stand a chance.

How long does it take Google to rank a site or a page? My new site has been active since the first of this year and I got nada for PR.
I'm not complaining, for the major search terms it's always on page 1 or 2 and for the less competitive terms it is always in the top 4 of page 1. But no PR. Does that matter?
Even my one page lead capture sites are on page 1 with no PR.
All the sites are BAP sites and the results have been nothing short of amazing, so should I care about PR?

I wouldn't worry about not having PR showing on the toolbar at this point as you sites are still pretty new. It can take a long time before the toobar updates the PR it displays.

JBN, what matters is where you rank for the significant search terms.
In general it can be difficult to rank well for the major search terms, but being on page 1 or 2 already is a good start.

Often our goal should be to rank well in the less competitive search terms and you're doing that too, so your off to a good start.

Page rank is just one of the things that helps you rank high in the searches. As you can see by your results it's not critical to have a high page rank, though every little thing helps. The more targeted your page is to the actual search terms you want to rank well for the higher you'll tend to rank, and that targeting is far more important than page rank.

As Doug said it can take a long, long time for your page rank to improve on its own. If you look at page rank of sites you visit you'll see that some are not very high, even on sites that have been around a long time.

Thats because Page rank is largely determined by the number of sites that link to yours. For most of us it is hard to get a lot of links on other sites pointing to ours.

You may want to check out my post on Article Writing. In the post I show how I created lots of backlinks for my sites using articles. Those backlinks will raise your page rank. The following is a quote from an article on page rank "an additional inbound link for your page will always increase the pages PageRank." Though each link will only increase it by a very small amount. So the idea for increasing page rank is to have hundreds, if not thousands of backlinks. In the article above I show how I easily added 400 backlinks to my site.

I've just made a note in my things to do notebook. I really have to amp up the blogging. I don't have a good blogging interface. That's the problem. I'm thinking of doing the busyagentpro.

All you need to have in order to blog is a free wordpress account. Head over to www.wordpress.com and sign up! It's free, and it's arguably the best blog platform/interface available.

My blog has done beautifully on wordpress.com. Doesn't cost me a dime and has great sEO. I'm going to get it on my own server though so that I have 100% control over my content 100% of the time.

I have a feed on my main website. It also automatically feeds to my Twitter, which automatically feeds to my Facebook. I think it also feeds into LinkedIn. So I'm not 100% sure where all my leads come from - most from google, I guess. but every bit helps. Oh, wait - I have it in blogcatalog as well, I think.

I've started putting a few blogs (old blogs that I re-wrote) on Trulia, as well..with links back to my main blog or site...when I remember.

Other than that - no I don't do much besides add content.

Try a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server]VPS[/url] first, rather than a dedicated server. Costs less and still provides full control of your server.
