The importance of PR is a frequent subject of debate on forums like DP, but what most detractors are missing is this: the importance that the toolbar assumes because we value it. A lot like money itself. An excellent and literary assessment of the phenomenon!

Regardless how many people with XX,XXX posts at DP come along and say "pagerank is worthless, get backlinks" - no names need to be mentioned - your points listed are all completely valid and true. It's getting harder and harder to get internal PR on a directory - believe me, I've tried and tried to no avail:( The single factor is: Without internal PR, those coming into the business will not pay for a link in your directory. End of story. Another great post, and frankly - all is true.

The Google PageRank formula is heavily based on backlinks conferring their authority (measured via PR) to your site. The more PR sites linking to yours has, the more link strength gets transferred via those links, establishing your page's "authority" and measuring it via the PageRank then allocated to your page via the arcane workings of the algorithms. We'll still be stuck with this phenomenon for a loooooong time (at least until Google gets dethroned!) ExSEOllent post!
