I haven't looked at it in over 2 years because it's a useless metric and has absolutely no value whatsoever. So for the first 3 comments, stop building backlinks if your only point is to increase your page rank. And if that is actually your reason, get a new job.

Backlinks collection served a purpose to improve PageRank. Many manipulations with link building created ongoing scam which causes degradation of honest webmasters and the invasion of scam websites with the good PageRank but worthless web content or offer. If you enter any search topics (keyword phrase) in Google search today you will find many website in between the "Giants" with low or no PageRank at all yet highly positioning according to relevancy and content worthiness, which is, in my opinion the only way to go. Readers need fresh content and buyers need honest websites to trust. Backlinks today are just showing the search engine users that you website, article, blog is worth to enter. We; SEO Services created taboo out of PageRank and Backlinks in order to increase our prices. PageRank is long term reputation of website. Backlinks collection served a purpose to improve PageRank.
