True, Google uses dmoz as the base, but it then adds its
pagerank technology to the site in order to rank its
popularity, so the pagerank number is important. If you
install the Google tolbar with the pagerank features, you
will be able to see the relative pagerank of the page you
are looking at if its listed in Google.
