I was wondering why a site has PR6. Turns out that there is one incoming
link from a PR7 site. This link alone is sufficient to propel this site
to PR6. Interesting.

You'd think that this PR7 site has tons of relevant content and incoming
links. Nope. There is very little content and just one incoming link,
from another PR7 site. Again this other PR7 site has little relevant
content and few incoming links. Where does it get his PR7 page rank
from?

Turns out that the owner of this site worked for some time at w3.org, a
PR10 site. This person still has a home page at w3.org, with PR9...

So, essentially, all you need to do is to work for some time at w3.org.
This will give you a nice PR9 homepage, where you can place links to
other sites. w3.org, the Gods of the Internet.

Pagerank is only one component of how search engines rank sites in their
results. Without content relevant to the search query it does little good.

Sure, but PR s, doesn't it? Two pages with the same content, one
PR4, the other PR7, guess which one gets more traffic.

Pay attention at the back:

Well, in August the PR of my site went down from 5 to 4. I used to get
over 5000 search engine hits/day before that, now I'm down to around
4000, a 20-25% drop. The drop coincided with the PR drop.
