Google Page Ranking....?

I personally can not figure out google's page ranking system. It seems that my best sites are running at rank of 2 while most of my sites are a 1.

This hasn't concerned me too much in the past since I still generate traffic and get sells.

However, it is disturbing that a fake pay-per-link page like www.bulwarkexterminating.com is ranked at a 3. While the official company site www.bulwarkpest.com is ranked at a 2.

How is it possible that a cyber squatting site is ranked higher then the official bulwark site? Further, if you search for bulwark exterminating the squatter's site doesn't even show up in the results yet the low ranking official site shows up first.

The final problem I have with DMOZ is that the few webmaster's that have managed to get into editorial positions are going to have all the advantage. I don't think that PestProJoe.com is even listed in the DMOZ.... But that doesn't stop the site from being great!

Of course it is easy to keep customer's happy when they are only paying $4 or less per pest control treatment!
