    Most important is the cash register ringing. You can have number 1 SERP and have low page rank. Top ranking SERP is more important that any stat like PR ...

    ask yourself a question, what brings in the traffic? PR or the ranking? it is the ranking you go after and PR has very little impact on the ranking itself. stop chasing PR and forus on getting your ranking improved instead

    PR is just one of the different matrix that google use to determine your ranking. Anyway as what mentioned by webwest, in the end what matters is how you work on the conversion.

    I fully concur/agree with this. Pagerank, trustrank, serp position are just tools to get top spots where the ultimate goal is to get more sales from it. Google itself wrote a blog post about asking webmasters not to concentrate or worry too much about page rank but about providing good enough retainer content.

    Page Rank nothing but a measurement of google loving. It is not necessary that if google love you (PR) you will rank higher in SERPs. So better to get for long time in SERPs you need to concentrate on good optimization for your website.

    Yeah. IF you are getting more than enough traffic to your site, then what is the need of getting PR?

    PR is one of measurement of your site with google, no one site will index in first page of google with PR only, so PR incrementing is indicates "how google is giving imp to our website"

    Search engine ranking is always more important than PR because it gives you traffic from search engines and through traffic you can more and more business and not by PR.

    You shouldn't focus so much on PR ranking. Get quality visitors and write fresh articles, that's how you will increase both SERP and PR.

    PR is not that important. Care more about getting more inbound links whether it's do-follow or no-follow. Getting the best rankings will get you most traffic from search engines and a good PR is not so much needed to rank well.

    Pagerank is also the important factor to be considered as it is score given by google.The more backlinks you have will gain more pagerank.

    Dear Kristina,

    Ranking can bring you new visitors or i would say potential customers....so concentrate on ranking rather than PR..

    hope it helped.
