    Why is PR important to you and what is considered a good PR?

    Is it PR 5 and above?

    I don't personally think that PR is a very important ranking factor for your site. But if you get quite a few good backlinks from high PR sites (i.e 3,4,5,6 and above) your site will get a boost in search engine rankings.

    in the link sales price determined by the link in PR, the higher the PR the more expensive the price of a link

    Im thinking it may only be one small piece of the puzzle. Its not near as important as people make it out to be.

    It plays its part but good quality links for a poor quality website won't help.

    A pr that has not been completely removed is important.

    Not really. It's somewhat helpful for judging how much the bot may crawl a site and generally valuing the site.

    Traffic is the real factor. You can't tell how much traffic a site gets by PR. PR does not translate into money. Traffic can and does.

    It depends on why you are asking.

    If you run a directory or a site that charges in some other way for an advertising slot (or review) then it definitely matters.

    If you run an online store or blog that is only looking for free organic traffic then it matters still, but not nearly as much as in the previous instances.

    Just get backlinks and pack your sites with quality content and "they will come".

    If the PR is an important factor then I will need to do something about it to get to at least PR 4.

    Backlinks would be the way to go for me as zygella is a free service.

    It isn't really important for your site, but ofcourse the more backlinks, inlinks, you have the better your pr.

    PR seem to have very little effect on serp. but in some cases pr helps a lot earn more money. for instance selling links.

    It gives the quality of site:)
    But it should be that important as it is.
    You can sell links on a site with PR.

    Lots of untruths in that link.

    On another matter, people often refer to the approximately 200 factors Google says they use to determine rankings. But, contrary to many posters, Google has not said that PR is only weighted 1/200 in the rankings. I suspect that it is a bigger proportion of the rankings than that, but still only one of many.
