It is only really important for monetised blogs. That said, it must be frustrating when circumstances like this come up, which seems to happen regularly.

None of those things have anything at all to do with PR. The ONLY thing that affects PR is the PR of links that point to the page. That's it. Nothing more (well, unless Google is playing one of its penalty games and fakes the PR to prove a point, but that's a whole different kettle of fish). If you have a site that is PR0, and the links to it suggest it should be higher, then you may have a penalty, or it may just not have been updated to anything higher yet, but will eventually. All it takes is just one link to affect your PR. A page with just one link to it could be a PR6 (as an example), simply because the page that is linking to it has a very high PR and doesn't link to many other pages. (The more pages it links to, the less PR it spreads to each). Hope that helps.

I have a site that I do nothing with and it gets no traffic and it got a 3, while my main site stays a 1. Who knows? I am going to worry less about pagerank and more about quality content.
