That's where the confusion lays in. The example you just gave is an excellent one, seochat.com ranks pretty well for many SEO related keywords, but has thousands of outgoing links and a low pagerank (4 currently), while few spots lower, seo-usa.org has pagerank of 6 and still is ranking lower then seochat.com As far as it regards PageRank the only thing that affects it is incoming and outgoing links. Those sites that still have a healthy PageRank even tho have a good amount of outgoing links apparently have some really strong incoming links from HIGH PageRank sites. Hope this explains pretty much your question. Indeed, it is backlinks that affect rankings and PageRank, and not pagerank affecting rankings. That’s where the confusion lays in.

Not directly related to this topic but asking this just out of curiosity.
