No, I'm not kidding.  It's not common content that Google has a problem 
which makes it less than perfect for individual sites.  The whole point 
behind PageRank is that you get a lot of sites linking to each other and 
are given rank based on the link count.  On a smaller sampling, there 
simply isn't enough data to be fed into PageRank to make a good rank.  Is 
it still useful?  Sure it is, but it's also not as good as other solutions 
for this particular problem.
