Page Rank Means Nothing When It Comes To SERPS?

Even if PR made all the difference you would be facing a little problem... The PR0 pages you see at the moment are probably no longer PR0. When was the last PR update anyway? Like a year ago?

Thanks for all the answers everyone. Right now I have a new wordpress blog for a very common keyword. Im 89 on the list in google, and I used the technique pointed out by foreclosureking. Ive basically put the keyword in the title of the page. And the meta contains some long tail keywords that I hope I rank in elsewhere. Im also building backlinks to the category page in wordpress and not to the main site hoping that since the category domain is a form of the keyword. Anyways Ill keep it updated and hope people can share their ideas to contribute to this topic.
