Is Pagerank important for SEO?

    Is Page ranking a deciding factor in organic SEO? In that case, is the higher page rank holding sites more effective in SEO?

    I think page rank is not important. It is better to learn about seo on page and off page. If you want to get organic SEO, you have to get 1 rank in Google. This mean you must good in backlink too (seo off page).
    This just my opinion

    I agree with jazzflicx. However, it can be used to instantly see roughly how well a website is doing. We know that PR5 is better than PR1, etc.

    Page Rank is not much important for SEO, It is helpful to create trust only. so build quality back links to rank number 1 position in Google SERP.

    Yes, I agree! I think that any site that has a high page rank indicates its doing well on acquiring good backlinks that can be a good foundation for a higher rank in any targeted keywords in google.

    People can argue for both sides of Pr. Just rely on your rankings to tell how well your site is doing.

    it is only important for buying/selling/trading links. It is correlated with the serps but not 100%.

    It is important in terms of when you're getting links. You'd want to get some links from high pagerank sites to increase your own pagerank.

    PageRank is important to driving indexing, but for rankings it is nowhere near as important as it once was.In other words i might say PageRank is one of indicators that shows you that your link building technique is good. But you need something more than links pointing to your website to make search engine a good traffic source.

    Page Rank is important but not for ranking.. Its a numerical value which is given by Google and that only indicates the measurement of your web page.. It does give the importance of a web page having a good PR.

    The toolbar pagerank is not at all helpful in ranking. It has had an effect on helping visitors judge reliability and trust factors of a site ... but then again that is just by habit and not a true factor to judge a site by.

    If you are interested in rankings focus on generating value for your site by content, relevant link, etc.

    Well PR comes automatically. If you optimize your site properly and consistently then PR will definitely improve. Don't need to bother about this.

    I believes that high ranking means good results. If your site have good Page Rank then we need less efforts for organic search engine. And in Less PR than we need more work for site. Thanks
