The way Google or other big search engine used to calculate your PR includes too many factors. SEO is to make your page include as many as related keywords as possible; acquire as many external links as possible; create corresponding meta tags so your page has a higher PR. People so started exchanging links through some programs which promote reciprocal link exchange 1 on 1.
