Page Rank helps you to get top listed in search engines.Page rank is determined by various factors such as backlinks,quality of the website etc.The more backlinks means more pagerank and you get listed in top in search engines.
PageRank is an independent measure of Google’s perception of the quality, authority, credibility of an individual web page. So, assuming for a second that your web page and your competitors web-page has the same relevance – then whoever has the higher PageRank gets the better ranking – and shows up at the top of the results page. This is why PageRank is so important.

Another side: PageRank is really useful when you want to MONETIZE your website. Many Paid To Review Site includes PageRank as one of factors for their star rating development. But, Not many people create website for the purpose of making money, and therefore, they don't really bother with pursuing higher PageRank.

PR is important to show your client that we also stand in industry some where you can tell them that google trusts on us then why you can't
If you want "in-depth" information, you can get it straight from the horse's mouth... Read The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google's two founders. It's their whitepaper from Stanford which became the blueprint for Google and where this thing called "Page Rank" was first mentioned/documented (pay special attention to section 2). You can also read Wikipedia's explanation of Page Rank which is pretty much taken from the previous document and dummied down slightly. If you're still hungry for information then read Google's Patent on Page Rank. They have several other patents as well that might interest you. I'll leave finding those as an exercise for you. If you take the time to read and comprehend all of the formulas you'll see that page rank is simply a measure of link popularity. It's based on the quantity and quality of inbound links to a URL. And you'll see that the amount of PR that is passed out from each link of a page/URL to the target URL is approximately the PR of the source URL divided by the number of followed outbound links on the page located at the source URL. I say approximately because they include a damping factor (which once defaulted to about 15%) to account for the small probability that the web surfer might close his browser and not go from that page to a different page. If you know anything about Google's ranking algorithm you'll know that PR is pretty much worthless these days for ranking purposes. It's one of over 200 different factors that Google considers when ranking a URL for a particular keyword phrase and carries very little weight. It's a terrible measurment for anything remotely related to SEO. It has virtually no bearing or correlation to SERP rankings or traffic. PR is only useful if you are selling links on your site (which of course is a violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines) and you want to be able to advertise that you have a high PR site willing to sell links so that you can trick some unknowledgable noobish SEO into purchasing links at an extremely inflated price and have it do nothing for their rankings... But they'll feel good cuz they can say, "Hey! I got a PR5 link!".
Page rank is virtually irrelevant, if you wish to believe otherwise, well that is your choice.You do not need page rank to rank high. My site is page rank 2 and about 8th in UK for Search Engine Optimization. It is there mainly through the sites OWN link structure and not by being linked to from high ranking websites. The only people that tell you how important PR is, are people trying to sell you links, which in itself is frowned on by Google.
Drabdcesign has a point. People always get a wrong impression about PR. I personally don't give a big thing about those green bars. If it goes up, then that's better. And if it doesn't, I'm totally fine with that as well. I still prefer good rankings than having a very high PR site with no conversion.
it looks really good on the toolbar. other than that, i myself dont bother too much with getting my PR increased. just focus on your SERP ranking and PR will come over time
Page Rank will helps you to get high position on list in search engines of google or yahoo .Page rank is determined by various factors such as backlinks,content of the website etc.The more backlinks means pagerank of your site high and your site in top in search engines. I think so
