Many discussions and arguments were moving in and around us about Google PageRank since it has a high impact in Google rankings. The term PageRank is a measure of Google’s perception of the quality or credibility of an individual web page. PageRank is expressed as a numerical value, between 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest possible PageRank and Of course very few websites achieve that level(PR10). PageRank is based on exponential scale. The difference between PR4 - PR5 is likely 5-10 times than the differnce between PR3 - PR4. Similarly PR4 web pages should have nearly 100 times as many web pages with a PR 2 web pages. So achieving the better position must be a great task.
The organic search results for a page is mainly based on the relevance and PageRank of a webpage. When your competitors page is of same relevance as that of yours, PageRank decides you search position. Page rank mainly depends on the Inbound and Outbound links of a site. Blogs are becoming a powerful tool, it tend to have very strong Google PageRank.
Its perfectly a high attitude not to worry about whats your search ranking now, Improve the relevance and PageRank the task can be achieved easily. The Google Page Rank is now available in RankQuest SEO Toolbar also.

I personally think that page rank is connected to the popularity of a subject. If there are only a few websites about certain subjects, then Your rank becomes higher.
Two of My websites have google ranks, which are very different in the amount of pages they contain and their subjects.
http://www.crohns4youngadults.co.uk is ranked at PR4 with 3,860 pages indexed
http://www.marfan-uk.co.uk is ranked PR3 with only 1 page indexed
Therefore, I feel there’s still alot of guess work as to how to increase your pagerank

In reference to PageRank: What is the proper ratio of outgoing links to incoming links on a particular page and should outbound links such as w3c’s valid xhtml link be tagged with the “nofollow” attribute to conserve PR?

On the contrary, I don’t think PR matters that much unless you intend to sell advertising on your site. It is traditional SEO strategy that gets your site high up in the search engine results pages - PR is irrelevant. It is your search engine standing that drives (paying or ad clicking) customers to your site. In most cases PR is just a gimick - something for webmasters to measure their performance relative to each other. It isn’t necessarily a measure of site performance either - you get some high PR sites with a good internal and external link structure but very few visitors. I consider it more a measurement of potential for the future.
