Google got carried away with spam fighting and the Page Rank system became a broken, doesnt work, inconsistant and illogical tool.

There is no alternative to using web graph metrics (PageRank or not) to problem of ranking content on the web for competitive categories: it's the same thing as voting in democratic elections, this is not perfect and does not produce best results, however there is no viable alternative to it without running into dictatorships - in this case it would mean that only trusted manually reviewed sites would rank, would you like that to happen?
