Unfortunately, the PageRank of a website isn't directly related to Umbraco (or programming skills), it is more to do with how to structure your content, in terms of HTML and sitemap ... and then lots of other factors, such as number of backlinks, etc.
My advice would be to try a different forum that specialises in SEO and Google PageRank, here are a few:
Make sure that the title isn't just the same on every page. Create an Xslt macro, that uses the name of the page as the title. Each page is different to Google. I.e. get rid of "<title>Dansk Kontor Center</title>" on every page and customize every page.
Make sure that meta descriptions are unique to each page. Make sure they are not too long!
The list is longer... but the best place to start is here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools Google has tools to analyze your site and give you recommendations. Follow these recommendations to the letter, and you will make Google happy... and they will give you more recommendations... and follow these and so on...
Hope that helps... and you will surely be able to find much more information on sites that are specifically targeted Search Engine Optimization. Your best bet is still to use the tools that Google has given you.

Hi Kim,
There are a few things you can do right off the bat.
Even though it restricts Google, they see it as a sign that you are serious about your site. So install this package:
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/robotstxt-editor
Again, by telling Google how to interpret your site, you are telling them that you care about your site, and you take one step up again. So do as described here:
http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/create-canonical-urls-using-xslt-macro
Tell Google what pages are on your site. Install this package:
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/sitemapxml
But remember to also TELL Google about the sitemap.xml! Do it here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools
Google has tools to analyze your site and give you recommendations. Follow these recommendations to the letter, and you will make Google happy... and they will give you more recommendations... and follow these and so on...
