1. For your blogs (eg. WordPress) add a "Similar Posts" or "Related Posts" feature. I recommend using the Similar Posts plugin.

2. Make a list of popular posts (Top 5 or Top 10 list) and feature it preferably on your sidebar or anywhere that is suitable for your blog/site.

3. Build a quality and long-term inbound links. – Go to the Link Building section for more help.

4. Open an account at Technorati and claim your blog. Make use of the Technorati tags.

5. Do a sticky post which are keyword rich that always appears on your homepage. You can also do a separate sticky post for each of your category to spice things up a little. WP-Sticky is highly recommended.

6. Take advantage of the Buzzlogic tool to identify the influential bloggers and get them to link to you by referring their site to your readers first. Get into their blogroll as trackbacks and comment will not do much good.

Out of 10 person, maybe only 1 person who knows how to identify a site with a fake pagerank and the others might not even know the fake from the real thing. Luckily there is a PageRank Fraud detection tool that helps people to know if the pagerank of a certain site is valid.

Fake Pagerank fraud are now becoming very common to the world wide web. Scammers usually lurk around forums looking for inexperienced webmasters to prey on.

First off, common sense usually goes pretty far. If a page or site links to a bunch of off-topic or low-quality garbage, you can feel safe, assuming the page does not pass link authority. If you have doubts, you probably do not want to link.

Secondly, Google has a toolbar that shows how it currently views a web page or website. The Google toolbar is one of the top search engine optimization tools for a person new to search engine marketing. It works on Windows and is downloadable at http://toolbar.google.com/.

PageRank is a measure of link popularity, which can come and go. It's not hard for a successful business to rent a few high PageRank links into their site and then leverage that link popularity for link exchanges. A site with decent PageRank can get penalized just the same as a site with low PageRank. Usually, you will want to error on the side of caution off the start.

Instead of making PageRank your primary criteria when evaluating a page or site, just think of it as a baseline.

Recently, I joined the BlogRush Network. Within days of using it, the BlogRush network announced that it will begin to work on moving to Phase 2. Phased 2 is just one of many major phases to come within the first 6 months to come.

I've used BlogRush for a few weeks now and so far I've gotten a fair amount of referrals or traffic from them. BlogRush only allows blogs in Englis to jopin the network, but I've seen a few chinese language blogs using BlogRush. Fortunately, in Phase 2, BlogRush will begin to detect and delete non-english blogs and spam blogs that are contaminating the network.

Here are a few 'Phase 2' sneak peaks.

As you can see, there are more options, more reporting and definitely more features!
