Use proper meta tags and also register your site in google webmaster tools and bing search engine. A meta tag is generated when you register your site in google and bing just copy the same and paste below the head tag.. never worry about page rank.or anu thing else.

In the early days of Google the term PageRank referred to the entire site. Links and link values were calculated on a page-by-page basis creating a score for each page, however, PageRank referred to the total score of all pages and was applied to the site.

Today, PageRank is no longer publicly given so any PR score you see on the web is from almost 2 years ago. This was done to help defeat monetizers from gaming search. PageRank, as it was in the beginning, is still calculated as a SiteRank which contains sub-sets of metrics such as TrustRank.

Each page has rank calculated. When a link is created from one page to another page, it is the pages rank that is shared. So a totally worthless page on a site that ordinarily ranks well will not pass much value. In the early days, however, it was the sites rank that was shared. That ended a long time ago as an effort to better calculate the value of links.
