Before i go on with this reply for anyone wondering, i am not an expert in SEO however i have been involved with internet marketing for 3 years. Also please note that i understand that nofollow isnt bad for rankings and will NEVER make that claim.
Also, please keep in mind the guys will go into more details about edu & gov links on day 29 and their advice are more authoritative than my own and this is just what i have discovered.
But now that ive got that out of my system....

Is that a PAGE or a SITE? sites and pages are two different things. Whats the page rank for the site? if you have a domain that has a good authority PR then i believe all the pages will increase in PR and where where the links on the sites based eg. sidebar or content?.

Ranking doesnt really doesnt matter in SEs, basicaly when a SE finds out about you they index you even if you have no content (just look at the example on the market samurai lesson regarding the empty WP blog).
However ranking is what helps bring the traffic to the site. the better ranking the higher you become in the list.
hrmm, if what you say is correct i wonder how much PR spammers have???
