PR Top Ranking list?

Hi,

I'm just wondering: does somewhere exist a kind of top ranking list? Like the top 1000 PR9, PR8 etc?

Haven't seen anything like that, but it might be useful?

I just realise one could use the Google Directory. But not all sites are in it.

Reg,
Birthe

try typing http: into google's search box... that would bring up the top sites you are looking for wouldn't it?

Where you are right, you are right ;-)

Yall might find this useful. I have updated some of the backlinks. Found this a couple of weeks ago and have been making additions and changes since then.

Enjoy! Ben
