I'm still not completely sold on the relevance of Page Rank. It is certainly one factor, but not the only factor. I, for one, have advertising page hubs that have a page rank of 7, and have yet to find a keyword that returns my page(s) within the first 10 pages of results. And then I have a large number of pages that do have number 1, 2 and 3 positions for relevant keywords, and they have a page rank of ZERO.
Instead of waiting months for my pages to "possibly" be included in SE, I tend to use
Pay Per Click Search Engines instead. (This link shows most of the ones I use)
