Save yourself the agony. PR has nothing to do with rankings in the SERPs anymore. It once had significance for Google but has been over exploited by spammers. PR is near being obsolete.
I realize that they don't tell you that on the google.com site but the evidence clearly indicates that good content outweighs artificially empowered content it doesn't matter what the PR value is of the web page. PR1 pages outrank PR6 pages competiting for the same keyphrases all the time.
Now don't get wrong folks, it is nice to have Google think your web pages are important and assign high PR values to them. Theoretically, if the high PR page has content that is sufficiently crafted and naturally supported, a higher PR web page does have a ranking advantage over a lower one because it has what appears to be some established popularity. Unfortunately, most of the content found on high PR pages nowadays is inferior and empowered externally using links to the content to make it appear to be uniquely important content; but that doesn't make it good content just because it appears to be.
Google knows the difference between good content and mediocre content made to appear to be like good content. Some SEOs are calling this trend: "establishing credibility" ( not to be confused with authenticity ) or I heard it once called "assigning importance".
Focus on creating unique and brilliantly crafted content. PR is on its way to the graveyard. If you want good rankings in the SERPs, get to work formulating good content. If you want PR, well, I don't know what to tell you but to keep begging for someone to give your web pages PR I guess.

PR has nothing to do with ranking. It has everything to do with how often you're recrawled and how deep you're crawled. In other words, backlinks will get you a high PR, and a high PR will get the googlebots coming to your site, but it's now up to you to make the best of the googlebots time on your site with on page factors to get you high rankings.

Now people have started worrying about their sites' PR again. I noticed changes in my sites' PR yesterday. In as much as it doesn't worry me much, I still try my best to work on my PR. Somehow, it gives confidence.

In the end I think the only thing that counts is when someone types a search term in... your page comes up on the first page (1-10zone)
I used to have a PR4 but as of two days ago it is PR3 and my other sites that I have done nothing with are PR2.. What the??????
I have worked my guts out on the PR4 page only for it to drop... But when I search for a related keyword I come up before the opposition pages with PR5 or PR6....
You tell me what is going on??? Is this really a true measure of your site worth.
