Higher the Quality of your site Higher the Page Rank would be. To improve PageRank of your site or blog, you have to improve traffic towards your website/blog.
For that start exchanging links, Submit your blogs to blog directories and put comments on other's sites and leave your URL there. Your comment must be appropriate and related to content.

If you do so visitors would come to know about that blog directory and blog directory would become popular. Also do one more thing, add a link to that directory into your blog.
