    When i try this "Similar pages" feature on page rank toolbar, i get great websites not to mention digg, google, blogger as the top sites.

    Should i jump in happiness?
    Does this mean anything to my website?

    Please help.

    Some SEO tools use the related results as an analysis of a URL's competitors :)

    It is useful. If you are related to sites such as Digg, you are more likely to get the higher PRs that they have. The 'related' function is how Google groups sites within its database. It is not given nearly enough attention. :)
