    Page rank just tell about the web site back links but if you want to better result in your business then you have to increase your rank in SERPs .

    There is no doubt that Ranking is utmost important for any website. If your PR is 10 and you are not coming on SERP with targeted keywords then what's the point of having High PR.

    If you are looking for making online money then you should try for good keyword ranking results. PR is not related to search engine ranking. Thanks

    Don't think PR and Alexa ranking it is like rank card...If your site get more high PR back links and good key word position means automatically you will get PR rank, Alexa rank and business leads ...

    for this you need to do link building seo offpage service..

    I think it is SERP more important than PR.we results can be obtained easily in the SERP, but if we get good PR for our website, then take a long time time.So to measure the quality of the SERP rankings favorite websites forever.

    Page rank has nothing to do with the ranking of the keywords. Better you concentrate on doing the proper seo for your site so that you can get high rankings for your keywords.

    I think that the context the link is placed in is more important. If it's next to a bunch of links that aren't related to it, the search engine will likely consider it like a blogroll or something and discount the link.

    However, if it's on a page that's related to the page it's linking to, it should carry a lot more weight, regardless of whether it's on the home page or subpage.

    Page rank is mainly used for link exchange purpose and if you are looking to drive traffic to your website then ranking do matter a lot.

    As all of the people here has said. Having high PR doesn't mean that you will automatically have high ranking.
    So instead of try to get more PR, you should build some links.
    And it is said that backlinks from high PR page will help to boost your ranking.

    So there you go the connection between PR and ranking.
