Google Page Rank article by Ian Rogers

This article has one of the best explanations of google's page rank algorithm that I've ever read. Granted, I don't understand the method completely, but if the underlying assumptions about how the google page rank system works are still valid, the author of this article has to be pretty close to understanding (an explaining) the intricacies of the PR system.

The diagrams put this page above the rest of the PR sites out there. Oh, and there's a nifty formula with lots of P's and parenthesis, so it automatically gets a position of high prestige in my book.

It isn't one of those sites telling you how you can exploit Google's Page Rank with cheap hacks, so if that's what you're looking for I doubt it will do you much good. It may help you have an understanding of how google assigns the rank between pages on your site and how inbound/outbound links contribute to your PR.

Yes, I Dr Britt Borden agree that Ian Rogers' White Paper on Page Rank is perhaps the best explanation of Page Rank on the web. The diagrams really make it clear and concise.
