Pagerank is discussed in more detail in a post about 3 weeks back.

While the usefulness of the number varies, it can be a good barometer for the crawlability of your site. Do you have a PR value on the home page and no rank on the interior pages? That's a sign of a problem.

It is not uncommon for a website with a "0" value to out rank a website with a greater value for the same targeted key-phrase. For example, type "thanksgiving flowers" into Google and view the first listing. Most of the sites below it have values of PR4 or greater.
 
Ryan, my interior pages are ranked at 0 and my home page is ranked 2 yet i still come out on the first three on google when a relevant search is done. How come and also what could i do to get more than a 0 on interior pages. Bear in mind i am not a techno person, so please be gentle with terminology. Thanks ;)

PageRank is a measure of the popularity of your page via links. Think of PageRank like water flowing from page to page. A high PR page is like one of the great lakes and a PR 0 page is like a puddle.

Great lakes are big because a lot of water flowers into them. You get to be a high PR because of the people who link to you. When a high PR site links to you, you will receive a lot more "water" than if a puddle linked to you.

Now, think of every link coming in to each page on your site as a pipe bringing water. They are from different pages, with different PR values, so they are different pipe widths. Big pipes, little pipes - hopefully lots of pipes :)

Every link going OUT from you page is like a faucet flowing water out. The water pressure that your page has to offer is based on the incoming water pressure. (Just like upgrading your water service from the city to a larger pipe coming into the house will mean better showers in the morning!!)

The water pressure your page has to offer is divided equally amongst the links coming off your page. More links = less water pressure.

Your interior pages are PR1, the home page is PR2.

PR doesn't = ranking. It's one of ~255 factors.

Gee, I came out a 3 and I always thought of myself as a 10 ;)

Yeah Ryan what Palms said

Ps - Foot broken

If you want a higher PR, get more people to link to you.

Sucks about the foot :(
