Why don't I have a PR (Page Rank)?
I am puzzled why I don't have a page rank i.e. I have a PR0.
My personal blog (on Wordpress) is about 6 months old, I have my own domain, have over 1000+ in bound links from other personal blogs, have a 400,000+ Alexa ranking, 18,000+ ranking in Technorati, am indexed in Google (as my stats show people coming from Google search). I am not one of those sites with just links, I write content of my life and my interests. I know my ranking is not high but that proves I am at least on the search engine maps and am indexed.
I know from reading from SEO sites that it is a combination inbound, outbound, site relevancy, quality of the inbound links etc etc. so I should at least have some kind of PR right? It just doesn't make sense. Putting my address down in http://www.digpagerank.com shows up as PR0.
Also how long does it take to get a PR?
Can someone tell me where I am going wrong, offer an explanation to this and what I need to do to at least get a PR.

It's hard to tell what's wrong without seeing your site, but heres a few ideas:
First pagerank is generated by Google and is always several months out of date - Google is just finishing up a new pagerank/backlink update but even so, the data that they are showing is several months old. They do that on purpose, they really don't want webmasters obsessing about page rank.
I'd recommend signing up for google webmaster tools (it's free)
http://www.google.com/webmasters/ In there they have a pagerank tool, under «Crawl stats» that tells you, in general terms, where your PageRank is. Google has said that this tool is much more accurate then the pagerank on the tool bar.
Next, just having links doesn't mean you're getting pagerank. Google is wise to most of the tricks that we (webmasters) have used in the past to boost pr and has discounted a lot of it. You say you have over 1,000 links -that's quite a bit for a six month old blog, you may be being penalized.
Also, lots of times webmasters use certain tricks that keep pagerank from passing to their link partners - (nofollow tag, using redirects instead of linking directly to the page) and unless you look closely you probably won't see it.
Try the google link query to see what google is seeing as far as links go, use the following:
link:www.YourDomain.com
This query will return (some of) the links that google sees pointing to your site.
Also use:
site:www.YourDomain.com
to see how many of your pages are indexed.
Lastly, try to forget about pagerank and just build good content for your blog --that's what ALL the search engines want and they reward those sites that have it ----regardless of what you pagerank may be.
Hope this helps,
