Links: the number of links, how many there are on the linking page, and most importantly the anchor text; are also key to the search engine results. Thrown into this mix is the quality of the individual page - which could be measured by Page Rank. But PR this is a loose quantifier. I've regularly seen sites with a PR1 beating a PR5 on the search engine results. My own site, which has only increased in size and links, has fluctuated between a PR1 and PR5 over the past years, now it's a feeble PR3. But this has had no correlation with positioning, traffic, hits or enquiries? If I was looking for a site to gain links from, obviously the higher the PR, the more valuable it would be worth. But the PR is so hard to quantify. The principles are right, but they way Google rewards them (if any) are an unknown. I would use PR as a rough rule of thumb to the quality of the page you want to get a link from, and not worry about it as the judgment of your own page.
