In my research I've found many very old sites (in Internet time) that have not been optimized properly or that don't have many links to have a PR1. I still tend to think PR shows a certain Google trust level, although it's not the only thing to look at. Referring to Oka's comment, PR0 sites can still rank and get traffic. @Joe - I find Google PR doesn’t indicate longevity any more.

The page rank is definitely not for are entertainment. I second what Shawn wrote. I would not use PR as a means to evaluate a sites ability to secure our information. I think PR does let us know how long they have been around. Which I guess you could say would be the test of a good business. The longer they have been around, must mean they are doing something right. I think the only real benefit of a high PR is the good organic search rankings. I'm not sure however, how much weight is placed on PR in Google's algo. It sure helps though. Great post. Well it seems that Google will say anything to confuse us.

Google doesn't tell us what our real PR is, but still, it's a measurement of some sort. Valentino - I think PR is still valuable, regardless of what others say.

Take our site for example - we have a page rank of 0. We still use SSL, we still encrypt your credit card data at all times, and we never sell your information to 3rd parties without your consent. Conversely, I have had my personal credit card data stolen by a site with relatively high page rank (5) because one of the employees decided to make some extra money on the side. All I'm saying is, Google says it's for fun only, the data is frequently wrong, or at best outdated, and it is no indicator of the trust you can put in a website.
