Yes. Just because we can't see PageRank doesn't mean it's not the primary metric Google uses. What else? Check out their ToS. It still warns against trying to "manipulate PageRank." Why do you think they would specifically want to protect that? "Any links intended to manipulate PageRank or a...

Yeah man he's pwned so hard with that. CrazyEgg is our main competitor so my hat's totally off to that guy.
