Doesn't PageRank work by counting links? This is a very naive view of Googles algorithms. While link count plays a significant role in ranking, there are many more factors (including various secret sauces) that determine where a given link will end up in the SERPs. Still, it really seems odd that Google shows a fake as the top result here. I just ran the search myself and while jquery.COM ranks first for a generic 'jquery' search, the release blog post doesn't appear at all when searching for 'jquery 1.6.2 released'. The closest you get is a link just to 'blog.jquery.com' with the title "jQuery:". It makes me wonder if something went wrong with the blog release that affected the way the "Google Juice" flowed down to that post, and this fake site managed to capitalize on it.
