My blog went landed a Google PR 4 a few months after its inception.It's stuck there since more than 2 years now. I find it strange because the blog has grown in terms of content, readership and backlinks. It's not that the PR bothers me much but I was just curious.

Higher the pagerank, the harder it gets... IndiBlogger has been at PR5 and our blog at PR4 for more than a year without any change....

I got page rank 4 last week and now its 3 May be google started to update page ranks monthly basis.

Nope, I'm still on PR4.
start building backlinks
I'm on PR5 now. hoping to get a better rank in the next update :)
Nice job, congratulations! (I see we use the same template) 
Congrats.
Correction my friend you are on wordpress and I'm on Blogger. I had to code it down myself :) Love your blog content man :)
You coded that yourself??? Nice!
Hello Cheth,
I am your follower on Twitter - http://twitter.com/buckdat
Like your twitter stream. :)
Glad to see you here. Check my new blog story on Search Engine reputation Managment of United Airlines.
Would you like to exchange link on Blogroll?
Best,

I have been stuck at PR3 forever though I am monetizing it reasonably well. There're regular + search readers as well...
PR4 is the right rating for your current backlinks strength and post frequency, I guess :)
PR isnt that much important. Afterall popularity of your blog matters and numbers of visitors/day
Well, First time I checked it was 2 and after that, I joined Indiblogger and I suppose it grew in readership but now my PR is 1 
Although PR doesn't matter but Google boasts about it, but ignoring it will be like saying,
"Angoor Khatte Hain"
my blog had a pr 3 when i had .blogspot.com domain
but after i switched on to custom .com domain.. the PR went to zero
I had exactly the same thing happen to me. Now have to start from scratch!
Hi Abhishek, congrats on getting a personal domain. You will have to do all your back links with your new domain. Good luck.
When I started blogging 1 year ago...I knew nothing like PR and stuff. By the time I came to know all this and realized that my PR was 0(that was in May 2009), I left blogging for quite some time. Now ever since I have started blogging again, I find my PR has gone upto 4.
What I'll suggest you is that you do the following to increase your PR -
1. Leave good and reputative comments on other blogs that are probably in the same category as your blog.
2. Social bookmarking is a must.
3. Include your blog links in your signature on various forums.
4. Add other blogs from your same category to your blog roll.
5. Follow other blogs and stuff on twitter and they might start following your blog too.
6. Common Sense - Write good posts.
Rest is all in your hands. Have a nice time blogging! 
You know yahoo and hotmail are on Pr 9 since its beginning.. :P
@Siddhesh - The reason for that is Google didn't introduce PR feature when yahoo and hotmail released. And the other reason is that right from the beginning they were like the only mailing service + other services.
Anyone has idea if PR is only for dedicated domain blog or for the one's hosted on shared free services like Wordpress too?
Google PR never ranks my blog which is on Wordpress. :(
Suggestions?
Just to add a few things:
What else to get a PR!? Also haven't received a IndiBlogger rank and the remarks on the stats page gives all sorts of errors ranging from No feed detected to low posts while the latest stories get updated which means the feed has no issue. I post roughly 2 stories per day which I believe should be a decent number.
Any one having idea what else I need to do!
Hmmm...I have heard many people having the same problem. Even my sis who used weebly for her blog couldn't get any PR despite having around 100-200 hits daily. Google probably loves blogspot more than wordpress or weebly.
Most likely, having a custom domain would help. But you might have to start SEO from scratch.
Thanks Rishab for the advice...though getting a new domain would not be that big an issue managing it would be a challenge I guess and starting SEO from scratch would hurt...lol.
Cheers!
PR4 and maninting it since 2 years? Congrats and be happy dear.
You will be happy if you read around to notice the owes of bloggers who got their blogs' pr stripped.
