Why does Google PageRank Matter?
It does matter, but it’s complicated…• Key to Google figuring out which pages are important.• How does your website do in the Google Popularity
Contest?• PageRank not a reliable indicator…

Link Quality depends on:• Content of page – Is the link related, natural?• PR of linking page (scale of 0-10)• Keywords in links can help but be careful!
Google PageRankPageRank reflects the quantity and quality of incoming links. Links vote for better websites.

In a typical website the homepage will have the most PR. As you go deeper into a website the PR goes down.
What are nofollow vs. dofollow links?In general, we don't follow them. This means that Google does not transfer PageRank or anchor text across these links. Essentially, using nofollow causes us to drop the target links from our overall graph of the web. However, the target pages may still appear in our index if other sites link to them without using nofollow, or if the URLs are submitted to Google in a Sitemap. Also, it's important to note that other search engines may handle nofollow in slightly different ways.
