That's very correct. You have entered a very competitive industry niche... try out something different. Remember, you need to get traffic... PR is *important* (sort of), but traffic is what you should look for.
The questions you shouold be asking yourself - "How can I make my directory different?" - "How can it add value to the web as a whole?"

For getting the PR it is necessary you get the quality links for your site.
For this you done on-line discussion, Blog posting and some short press release for your site.

keep building new links, as much as you can.

Hi,
i agree with everyone that PR has no meaning. However, to reach SERP you can collect links from relevant sites. Relevant back links will certainly help you, over a period of time, to achieve some popularity. Make sure the site is relevant, the link page is indexed before submission.
Thanks
