    Page rank is the measure of a pages popularity. A website or page, usually the home page carries the most amount of page rank and that is because it is the primary landing page that most people see first. Also, there is a good chance that every other page on the site points back to the home page.

    Page rank is also received or distributed by websites and pages that allow the links leaving their sites to be followed by the search engine spider bots. A do follow tag means that the site is willing to endorse the site that it is linking to, and page rank is passed on to that site. Therefore, it becomes necessary to build links to your sites and pages so that the spider bots can find your site and rank it.

    PageRank is what Google uses to determine the importance of a web page. It's one of many factors used to determine which pages appear in search results.

    Contrary to what all the above posters had above, Page Rank is neither the measure of popularity of a website, and neither does Google use it to rank websites.

    Page Rank is simply a measure of link juice a website receives from its backlinks. Though the exact figure of backlinks cant be posted, just by increasing the count of your do follow backlinks, your PR shall simply increase.

    Google does not no longer uses PR or is severally depreciated, and all they do is to update it every 3-4 months.
