    In Google's eyes the higher the page rank the more authoritative your site is. It is part of the Google algorithm. I can honestly say from experience it helps to rank a site high in the SERP however you can still rank a pr 1 site above a PR 5 or 6.

    From what i have read on this forum every day, i can say that pagerank doesn't have an important role in Google.
    I can say that PR had an important role in the past, but now, the most important thing on google is "Content".

    In my experience page rank is just one of 100+ factors Google use to determine your site ranking, no more no less. So don't pay too much attention to that, even when looking for backlinks.. PR isn't something you should worry too much about. Better worry about the relevance.

    Pagerank is one of 3 most important ranking factors in Google (the other two being title tag and link reputation). There might be zillion of other things that affect rankings one way or the other, but compared to the 3 mentioned above they are non-factors.

    One confusion about Pagerank that makes people think it's not important is that the publicly visible Pagerank (what Google shows you in their toolbar, for example) is usually outdated by as much as several months. Therefore, you often see pages ranking that show PR0, even though their real Pagerank is likely much higher.

    Don't be put off by high PR competition!

    I out rank a PR5 site that is targeting the same keywords as me, I'm beating him with higher quality back links & higher quality content.

    My site's a PR0

    If your site is SEO optimized with good internal link structure ,I don't think, you should spend time and worry about PageRank sculpting,concentrate on updating your site with quality content and backlinks from authority sites.

    It's not important for positions of you keywords. However good PR is a side effect of getting strong links to your site.

    Nobody seems to agree on anything. I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can't really control it anyway. It is advisable to simply do everything in your power to run a clean site and along Google's requested guidelines. After that, just forget about it. They'll either give you some PR or they won't.

    First at all, you gotta understand what is page rank. Your page rank high mean you have quality/ quantity backlink. So, do you think backlink will help on serp? If yes, then pr indirectly help on serp

    If you get 2 writers one is experienced and other is not but both write well and both are good.

    ( You will choose the one with experience.)

    Now imagine you have 2 writers one is experienced and other is not but the inexperienced writer is really good.

    (You will choose the one who writes well..)

    The same way Page rank works... in either case quality content is important.

    Google uses pagerank as an important factor, to them its the higher the page rank, the more authoritative your site is.

    it is a one kind of star that you get from Google. if you get 10 start out of 10 from Google you will be on top of the list. the higher the page rank, the higher the management of the site. you have maintained all the requirement of Google and it returns well to the high page rank sites.

    thanks

    It has no importance. It only matters if you are selling links.
    Also, it is a very small factor when it comes to selling a site but like I said, it is a small factor, SERP's and traffic is all that really matters.

    Are you referring to TBPR (Toolbar OR)? if so, then for you to know what PR, PRTB is a useless thing , not even worth of monitoring.
