Agreed. Additionally, I would also suggest looking at other signals, such as social media, and content originality, to name but a couple. Look at each site from a surfer's point of view. Are you getting jerked around, are you getting redirected, is the content presented well enough to make you want to stick around and see more, etc. There's just so many variables to consider that it's really impossible to mention them all.
The one thing I would advise anyone with a new site, though, is to not go out and buy up all the pr4, pr5 and pr6 links you can find. Get some variety, even pr0's have their place if the site is well maintained, not spammy and provides a good relevant experience. But don't just go out and buy a big pile of links all at once. Take your time and target your rollout. Be smart about it and think what a "natural" progression would look like.
*** Just a note to amvcdotcom.. don't pay a lot of attention to Page Rank or even Alexa for that matter. Just use your better judgement and you'll be fine. There's a few really good people to deal with on GFY. And a quick search will quickly show you who to avoid. Good luck.
