Are you kidding?
Beside a miracle of god there is no chance in hell unless you do something to this website.
Look at the content.
Look at the website.

Add more content and get more links.

When adding content, try to think of something useful that people may be looking for, such as a top ten list of common problems and solutions, etc.

If the content is useful and well written then people may naturally link to it which also helps with part 2

Do you mean PageRank, ranking or the PR number you see in the toolbar.

But as Ali suggests, to improve anything you need some material to work with - lots of pages, lots of content and lots of internal navigation.

Assuming it is PageRank and not page ranking, the answer is simple. get links to your site from pages that have been (or are very likely to be), cached by google.

You can increase your pagerank by writting and submitting articles, press releases, blog commenting, forum posting, and getting QUALITY BACKLINKS!

I would have said the answer was even simpler than that - don't waste your time on something that isn't going to affect your sales!!!

It was renamed PointlessRank for a reason lol

Very funny - I think it's obvious what the guy is asking, why not try and help him with a useful answer?

It would seem that PageRank may soon no longer exist so we won't have to try to improve our score...


Google removes PageRank from its webmaster tools

Google's Susan Moskwa says: "We've been telling people for a long time that they shouldn't focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it's the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true. [...]
We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but then to show them the data, implying that they should look at it."
For the time being, the PageRank will still be displayed in Google's toolbar.

get links from high PR pages and your rankings will improve and your own page rank will also improve.
It can also be valuable when internal linking.

Increasing back links, directory submission, social bookmarking, forum posting, comment posting, link exchange and article submission are some activities that help to improve Page Rank.

Can Any Single Metric Predict the Rankings?

Boy, that sure would be nice... We've looked in the past at the quality of metrics like PageRank, Yahoo! Site Explorer's Link Counts, Alexa Rank, etc. The short answer is that they're barely better than random guessing. Google's PageRank score was (around February of 2009) approximately 16% better than random guessing for predicting ranking page (N+10 aka ranking page 1 vs. page 2) and less than 5% better than random guessing for predicting ranking position (N+1 aka ranking position 1 vs position 2). The chart below shows correlations for a number of popular SEO metrics:
