PageRank is a link analysis algorithm used by Google to help determine the relative importance of a website.

Every website is given a Google PageRank score between 0 and 10 on an exponential scale. The handful of PageRank 10 domains, including USA.gov, Twitter.com and Adobe Reader Download, have the highest volume of inbound links of any sites on the web. The top sites set the bar, so to speak, and the 10-point scale plummets exponentially down from there. Google.com and Facebook.com are PR 9. PageRank 5 websites have a good number of inbound links, PR 3 and 4 sites have a fair amount, and brand new websites without any inbound links pointing to them start at PageRank 0.

Page rank is no longer valid as Google has stopped updating their page rank algorithm from the past couple of years. Concentrate more on domain authority and content optimization to build search engine ranks for your website.

Pagerank was a search engine ranking factor. but as the Google hasn't updated it from last 2 years so I think it is not important now.
