This is my considered opinion after 5 minutes of research.
Case in point. This excellent blog that you are reading now that has whole minutes of effort put into it every day while I beautifully craft posts for your reading pleasure has a Page Rank of 5. Not bad really.
Then I take a look at hubby’s blog. Two sentences a day if you’re lucky on whatever randomly hits his brain at lunchtime and the git gets a Page Rank of 6! Where’s the justice in that?!
*sulk*
Interestingly though, he has just pointed out if you do a Google search using the term search engine, bizarrely Alta Vista comes first. Google is listed sixth. They give themselves a Page Rank of 10 though… funny that.

I can’t work it out either.
I hit a 6 for the first time ever yesterday (I think they re-ranked lots yesterday). But, compared to others on my sidebar, I get many fewer hits, and fewer searches. Someone I occasionally read has already got a 5 after less than a month blogging.
Doesn’t make sense at all.

Well I have to get my daily dose of Pewari…if that makes you feel any better :)

Our theory at the moment is that 5 appears to be the default and they then add or subtract depending on certain criteria (so that would explain the 5 after only a month). Then any links from popular sites count towards a higher score.
What we think has happened for hubby’s blog is that he tends to comment on a lot of the Mozilla development sites (which are ranked highly) and the comments are counting as links to his site – hence the increased score. Bah.
Mir: that does make me feel better, thank you :o) *head swells to size of small house*
