If PageRank was pointless/worthless google wouldn't include it on their toolbar would they? *grin*

PageRank is a result of their algorithm, it's as much a part of Google as the serps. Created by Larry Page, one of the founders of Google. (hence the name? heh), it's not going anywhere.

However, in a way "hacker" is correct, pagerank is purely a webmaster tool.

All you need to really do is focus on your content, and backlinks.
Do NOT focus on PR, because it will get you nowhere fast.

Content is king - get that right, and the rest will follow.

Backlinks are key - why do you think google used to be called backrub? google is built around backlinks.

Enjoy!
