I don't feel criticized in the least, but thanks for the sensitivity ... both the rainbow and the gold at the end thereof are, indeed, optical illusions ... PageRank, however, is part of how Google determines placement for a given query, if only a small part, nonetheless a part and that's not illusory, however elusive it may be. ;D
And while I am not obsessive about PR, it is so integral to Google, that it is worthy of my attention.
Google states: "For search results, relevance and ranking is automatically determined by over 100 factors, including Google's patented PageRank algorithm." (From:
Google AdWords: Learning Center). In fact, whether we like it or not, PageRank - giving weight to pages based on a scholastic citation model - was the genesis for the search engine itself.
On the topic of PR, I think this GoogleAnswers page has some relevance:
