Blogging for page rank

    Is blogging for page rank considered black hat SEO?

    Lemme explain what happened because it looks very weird.

    I started a blog a couple of months ago. Google found it when it scanned the blog host "new sites" list. I have two links on the blog to two of my sites. One that I am developing, and another "dummy" site. The dummy site imports the RSS from my blog and has a few links. I never submitted either site to any search engine. I let the search engine find them by itself.

    Ok, so here's what bothers me. According to http://www.searchengineengine.com/ , both my blog AND my dummy site are RK 5. Thus, if one chooses to believe that RK 5 means internal page rank 5, then I got a PR5 site in one evenings worth of blogging. Googles XML for my blog show only links from itself to itself. Links to my dummy site show only links from my blog and itself.

    I have been working on getting links to my genealogy site for 5 years now. It is PR3 working on PR4.

    So, what's the concensus. Is RK5 really NOT PR5? If it is, is blogging for page rank considered black hat?

    Blogging for PR is not a black hat technique.
