Pagerank is googles ranking value based on how popular a site is linkwise. Some people live by it and only want links from high PR sites, though I personally dont take any notice. I have PR0 sites ranking quite well in competetive searches.

...and it's not 'page' as in web page - it's Page as in Larry Page (a co-founder of Google).

+1 for what soj has said. It tries to denote the authority of a site based on number and quality of links. There's a good chart on the wikipedia page.

It might be named after Larry Page but pagerank is still specific to each page instead of website as a whole.

Same. I used to be obsessed with PR, but since I have PR0 sites which rank in positions 1 & 2 in Google for relatively competitive terms, I now pay no attention to it.

That said, I wouldn't mind if Google threw a PR5 or higher my way, just to please the ego.

Thanks for this clarification.

The best metric to use for websites is usage by users .
as indicated by this Relevant info

On October 15, 2009, Google employee Susan Moskwa confirmed that the company had removed PageRank from its Webmaster Tools section. Her post said in part, "We’ve been telling people for a long time that they shouldn’t focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it's the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true."

Page rank is still a good metric if its a high PR you are dealing with, but as said you can have a PR 0 ranking for high competition terms.
