High PageRank doesn't necessarily equate to high search ranking.
Here is some possibly useful info on page rank...
Things that don't improve PageRank Automatically
Frequent content updates (not part of the formula)
Directory listings such as DMOZ and Yahoo!
Academic .edu and .gov-sites
Things that do affect PageRank
Well anchored and internally authoritative linking has an impact on PageRank.
Links from and to high quality related sites have an impact on PageRank.
Things that MIGHT improve Page Rank...
Pages with extract information from Wikipedia
Things that don't affect PageRank
No follow-attribute
Multiple IBL's from the same page.
Facts about PageRank
Sites with high PageRank carry more weight. So a page with 10 OBL's passes more juice than an equivalent page with 15 OBL's. PageRank is dissipated with OBL volume.
PageRank is determined for each page, not the site over all. So it is possible for inner pages to have a higher PageRank than the Home Page.
PageRank Sculpting no longer works. Links marked as no follow still count as OBL when determining how much juice is passed by do follow links.
