Since I'm still seeing a significant amount of mention here about PageRank, I thought it would be good to share this. PageRank belongs in the same storage locker where you'll find a group of nerds stuffed inside chanting, "Link exchange, reciprocal link, must have link exchange..."
Most of you have probably heard this term. Maybe you know what it means, maybe not, but just know that it was a Google idea, and since it was part of their "branding" for a while, they have been reluctant to kill it off opting to let it die a slow, agonizing death. The patient is wearing a DNR bracelet, which means Do Not Resuscitate.
So the next time someone starts spewing PR, show them this:

One of the more interesting parts is the statement from Google themselves when they announced PR would no longer be part of the webmaster toolbar:

We’ve been telling people for a long time that they shouldn’t focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it’s the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true. We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but then to show them the data, implying that they should look at it.
