By definition, Google PageRank is based on the number of inbound links to a page and the PageRank from the pages on which those links are placed. It is only a small factor in the way in which Google ranks sites now. Other factors such as LocalRank have far greater importance. For example, LocalRank is a more relevant figure because it is calculated based on links from related sites, so, in effect, it reflects how much other experts in your field respect your knowledge.

The Toolbar PageRank that you see is only updated at MOST every 3 months and is not an accurate reflection of overall PageRank. Google have claimed they play with the number showing on that bar just to see reactions in the SEO community. You need to monitor traffic and how much you get and for what types of keywords to see how you are doing within organic search. PageRank is only useful as a relative measure.

Furthermore, when fretting over how to increase your PageRank, you must remember that it increases exponentially so that you need 10x more link authority to get from PR1 to PR2, 100x more link authority to go from PR2 to PR3, 1000x more link authority to go from PR3 to PR4, etc., which means far too much time spent worrying about the sheer volume of links you will need and not enough worrying about getting links from sites that can give you relevant traffic. At the end of it, even if you have obtained your 1,000 or 10,000 new links, you still may find yourself outranked by a page with much lower PR because of on-page relevance or the number of people who follow their ranking and don’t bounce back into the search results page.

Personally, I would turn off the PR on your toolbar and pay it no attention and simply work on getting good, relevant links from sites you respect.
