I personally never understood the page rank system, except that advertisers (and other bloggers) wanted to advertise or exchange links more aggressively because of it. Ironically, my best blog had a lower page rank than all my other sites, yet outperformed all of them put together as far as traffic and revenue was concerned. It was only until recently that Google increased my PageRank (after dropping it down twice) that it is now fairly high. Like I said, I never really understood the Google PR, although hopefully people will measure the success of a blog by its traffic/comments/revenue/influence, rather than from a corporations green thermometer.
