    PR is still important. When buying and selling links it's the main factor used to determine value. Also when buying or selling a site. Of course traffic would be the main factor but the page rank would probably be the second most important.

    No Pagerank is not important. And it was never realy important.
    May like gonecrazy said, you can check with pr whether there are some good backlinks etc, but you can determine this also with thousands other tools. Pagerank don´t give you traffic and also not more income. forget about it and keep on increasing your traffic.

    Google had never disavoed PageRank as an important factor. It is just that there are many more factors that influence SERPS now then when Google first started its operations.

    PR is not important. It is just a measure of how well your site is doing. Saying PR is important is like saying the measurement 300 mph is important when talking about cars. That's not important, what's important is the engine that makes it go 300 mph. Do you see what I'm saying?

    SERPs and traffic is much important than getting Page Rank.

    The site that has true high PR will get more visits from robots , and more link juice (that what they call) to other sites that it links to.

    It is very important to those who have it!

    And those who never had any PR - please stop whining that page rank is not important , just because you have NON.
    Websites with higher PR get crawled more often, ask any SEO
    Websites with higher PR are easier included in quality directories, you better believed it!
    Websites with higher PR get to pick who they link exchange with, that's is right! Websites with PR7 and above get free BL every day!
    Have you ever seen authority website with PR under 7? or with PR=2? Did not think so
    Also if you say it does not matter than it must be something very easy to get, NO? YES? then why dont you have it?
    I could talk for hours about it.
    Bottom line is:
    High PR is not just for link sales

    nice sences ;) but can you please explain why it is important ? some facts please....

    FIRST: No one of us is whining ! It´s a discussion where eveyone can have a different opinion. No need to be rude ;)
    Websites will not be crawled more often because of PR LOL, Just put the right sitemap and regular content in and it will get crawled everyday ;)
    Which directories you´re talking about, please? i don´t believe you.
    OK, Link exchange could be a reason
    What is for you a authority website ? Google, Bing, Digg & co ?? of course they have high PR. But just because they have multi millions of backlinks from all over the world and not because only high pr sites link to them.

    i do IM since 1996 and have till today 180+ Website with at least PR3
    Also i have a bunch of websites lower than PR 3, so i see the difference what between high pr, low pr and no pr websites and for me is PR not importent
    High PR IS NOT IMPORTENT FOR IM

    read the google blog and some other professional Seo websites.

    The higher PR, the better, this is out of question. However, the ranking of your keywords is not closely related to the PR. In short, higher PR means the better trust of your website.

    WHINING:
    1. To utter a plaintive, high-pitched, protracted sound, as in pain, fear, supplication, or complaint.
    2. To complain or protest .
    3. To produce a sustained noise of relatively high pitch
    Pick a number

    Also fresh content added daily will get your site crawled more often, I did not say high PR was the only reason

    For example:http://www.greatdirectories.org/submit.html

    Yes genius, millions of websites links back to them because they are authority. Show me any site that is PR8 and is not an authority in its niche. Look at this SEO authority website, seomoz.org
    Again, that is you. And BTW, to me PR3 is not worth mentioning.
    Question, how many PR6 or PR7 websites do you own? The reason I am asking is because, that is where the fun part begins, right around PR6 mark.
    Yes, Page Rank is not important to all of those who have NON

    PR is important and can be a factor in potential profitability of your site, but it is not everything. Quality content is still king, but building backlinks to your site from high PR authority sites should help your ranking and traffic, so it is important in that sense as well.

    "Useless"? I wonder why Google still spends so much money, time, hardware, and engineers calculating it.

    I've always subscribed to the theory of "Follow the money trail."

    That type of arrogant, discourteous reply is why most of the knowledgeable veterans have abandoned this forum over the past few years.

    You don't hear as much about PageRank nowadays, and with good reason -- you should care more about
    the quality of traffic you're getting. I mean, if you're running an ecommerce site with PR 10 but little-to-no
    sales, then what good is the PR?
