instead it means make sure all (or rather as many of them as possible) the sites that have important trust rank currently link back to your site in that niche thus showing your ranking importance.
The main point you put out though is still valid. . .(as kaktusan mentioned as well) . . . don't trade for PR. I only have PR so that those with the almighty SERP want to link to me. . .lol.

dirtwars,
I Totally Agree with you...
Kats is absolutely right...

When doing linktrades carefully rotate your site anchors with keyphrases you are targetting at.

I half agree with Adriaan....

PR does influence ranking, BUT it is a very, very minor factor and Content-Richness is the key.
Two points:
1. Everybody should read the Google Webmaster Guidelines for themselves. A reinterpretation of a reinterpretation of a reinterpretation of a reinterpretation of a reinterpretation normally is not anywhere near what Google says.
2. Build the site for the SURFER, NOT the spider... I do very well with my PR and ranking in the search engine. I build to attract and keep surfers coming back. FIRST. Second is proper metatags, keyword count and the other little things I do to appease the spider. All my SEO work on a site is normally done in an hour when I am building the site. After that I am aware of SEO, but I build for surfers, not spiders.
