Google "PageRank" is a factor in Google's search "algorithm."
Where your page(s) "Rank" in Google's search engine results pages (SERPs) is determined by this "algorithm."
Why the disparity? 40 on PageRank, 7 on SERP. What is an algorithm, anyway?

If you saw "40" then this was referring to how your page "ranks" in the SERPs because the highest "PageRank" is ten (10).
The disparity is nothing more than a difference in "datacenters."
A Search Engine "algorithm" is a set of rules or forumla for ranking pages listed in the given Search Engine's "index."

I'm hopeless-- I'm apparently stumbling terribly on this terminology or I am incredibly DENSE. Doesn't SERPs stand for Search Engine Results Page? So if I type "pizza coupons" into the search box, aren't the resulting pages of matches Search Engine Results Pages? I'm #7 on the SERPS, but 40 on PageRank.
I'm not going to sweat it unless it becomes a hurdle to ranking my new site.
