PageRank is not the only ranking algorithm in use during Google searches -> this is particularily the case when a 'site:...' search is done. As with most other search engines, you can submit your site/url to google so that it is spidered then next time google updates its database -> you dont _need_ to be linked to, to get ranked (although it helps).
