  "Numbers of backlinks" don't mean much, these days.
  
  We can all see this for ourselves from the regularity with which lower-PR pages with far fewer incoming backlinks outrank higher-PR pages with far more incoming backlinks in Google's SERP's.
  
  Link-juice is all about relevance and quality, these days - exactly as Google said it would be.
  
  I know from my own little bits of keyword research, when I'm "assessing the SEO-quality of the competition" by checking out the backlinks of the first few sites in Google's SERP's that if I find one with something like 100 backlinks all from decent-looking relevant sites, and almost nothing else, that may be a pretty tall order for me to beat, whereas I can typically overtake sites with "obvious automated, mass-backlinking" (of the "article directory" type of backlinks) very quickly indeed, even if they have tens of thousands of backlinks.
  
  I've stopped looking at page ranks altogether.
  
  For me, they're a waste of time.
  
  It seems to me that the only people who think otherwise are those with either a financial or an emotional attachment to them. :p
  
  Thanks

PR is broken, it isn't important anymore and it's actually a bit misleading.

I have a money site with 100 or so articles, 10 yr old domain, many valuable incoming links and plenty of SEO, and it's a PR4.
I have the .org version of the same site with about 2 articles, 5 backlinks and nothing else going on and it's a PR5.

Go figure?

If I sold ad space it might be worth something.

@OP: There may be some high PR sites 301 redirecting to the domain in question. Over time the PR is passed - almost completely, if I may add. The 301 redirects are not listed/considered as back links.

@Others: IF PR is not indication of anything SEO related, I don't see why should google even care to calculate it (must be a hugely resource intensive job). The reason why low PR sites (or shall I say pages) outrank High PR ones is because the Low PR ones have greater relevance with the "search query".
See it like this: How can google refer you microsoft.com when you searched for iPod, although microsoft.com may be High PR site as compared to apple.com (just an example, I don't know the PR of either of them). So PR has it's place, or so it seems to me.

Sometimes it also bother me! I got some domain those are very new and backlinks <10, but they got PR 5+! I have talked with all of these domain owner. They can't figure how it's happened!

Again, I don't understand, why this kind of miracle don't happened for me?

  Where on Earth do people dig up this stuff?! This simply isn't true.
  
  I have a PR-1 page which gets far more monthly page views than one of my PR-6 sites. So do countless other internet marketers. It's just pure fiction. The relationship between page views and page ranks (even though page ranks mean so very little nowadays) is far more complicated and far less causally connected than that.
  
  The influences of the Urban Myth School of internet marketing are so pervasive.

  Quality links ARE Relevant links, and they do not come in any other flavor, says Mr. Panda.

There is something that google isn't telling us about pagerank.
Hosting,domain and websites providing some valuable user targeted services rank high.
Sites built for adsense and affiliate products get pagerank based on relevant backlinks.

as far as i know, PR checking tools and plugins use a custom PR calculation algorithm, because Google does not reveal the exact procedure to calculate PR, which means each algorithm might create a different PR for a site, it sometime happens, I have 3 PR plugins in my Chrome, and sometimes all three are displaying different data. so it can be kept more in this way, that while the original code at google has evolved, after all that panda crap and all, the PR checking algos developed by rogue programmers and fun seekers have not. which means you get a result according to the algo creator, but what is happening at Google... Only google know or either of their top board members..

Hope that clears that up.
Cheers.

PS: Invite Sergey and Larry to WF... .. i will buy them WARROOM entry..
