Bad links won't effect your PR, but they may cause your rankings to drop.

As far as any drop that you may experience in PR, just remember that while you are trying to increase your PR. millions of other webmasters and SEO gurus are working on their sites. Everytime G updates PR, the baseline changes. So the same criteria that allows a site to be a PR6 one month might only equate to a PR4 the next month. PR threshhold levels are a moving target.

Does PR matter? According to Google it does. In fact, if you get a hold of the right person by email they will tell you that "...our automated PageRank algorithm lies at the heart of our technology. PageRank takes into account not only the content on the page in question, but also the quality and anchor text of the links that point to that page." (Actual quote from one of the many messages I have received from G).

However, I believe that the PR ranking that Google uses in their SERP's is much different than the PR that we see on the toolbar.

GREAT information. I'm copying & pasting into a .doc I'm keeping... a tutorial of important tidbits. Thanks for the insights.

Whoa, I don't know about that, thank you for sharing. Yes, I agree with other people here, quality is still ove quantity. I will now check my inbound links regularly.
