I am glad this discussion was started because I forgot to think about the page rank status when starting out with my backlinking project. It took some time for me to just figure out how and where to go to get the backlinks started in the first place but I think I am starting to get the hang of it.

What I can never remember is how/where to check the links from my competitors so I can see how many backlinks are needed to get to the top spot.
