I have the same question. What is "Page Rank"? I have heard it being mentioned a lot of times, but still don't know what it actually is.

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages

hmm Page Ranking is Page Rank, a system used by Google to determine how much important or influential is a particular website in its own domain (scope).
Google uses very complex algorithms to determine Page Ranking. They are updated once every 2-3 months.
All sites by default have PR1, which can increase till PR10.
Google/Yahoo/MSN/BBC are some of the PR9 sites.

[SIZE=-1] PageRank is a function of Google that measures the quality of a website on a scale of 0 to10. The theory is that high quality sites receive a higher PageRank based on visitors and traffic your site receives. PageRank is a “vote”, by all the other pages on the internet.[/SIZE]
