Google Inside Scoop with Matt Cutts
One very important blog - if you haven’t found it - is Matt Cutt’s blog. Matt works at Google and has become the primary interface between Google and the SEO community. This is as close as you are going to get to the inside scoop on how Google works. You can find his blog at:

This describes some of where Google is going in 2007. It’s a little big of technical stuff here, but those supplemental results he mentions are the listings Googe returns when it can’t find enough information on a search in its main database. These are labeled as such in the return from a search. Obviously, that isn’t a good place for your site to be listed. If you are there, it generally means you have a weak image to the search engine (too few links to your site?) or you are doing borderline spamming of the search engines. Matt says it basically means you have low PageRank.

“Matt says it basically means you have low PageRank.” I am working on several sites that are PR0 or PR1 and they are ranking well.
The only thing I can come up with for PR is it is a trust value Google has for your website.
A higher PR may cause sub pages to get indexed …. Maybe?
