As I understand it, Page Rank is a numerical value for a site based on how "valuable" it is on the 'net, i.e. the more links you have coming to your site, the higher the Page Rank. A higher Page Rank then leads to a better position on a Google search, moving you closer to the very first listing.
My observation is that it doesn't matter. With my site, my Page Rank is 4 but a search on Google puts me at #10. So why is my site listed so prominently on Google yet my Page Rank is so low?
