It is partially depend on PR. How ever If your Keyword is High searches and Low Competition automatically it will rank in TOP of many search engines.I have searched many keywords in Google. Many PR worth Sites are getting in Top 3 positions, but this happens, their content and keyword density is perfect. But my conclusion is , SERP is depend on Unique and High Quality Content with proper Keyword density and partially with High PR
It depends, like if you have backlinks from relevant site then there are better chances of having High PR as well as Good SEPR compared to if you have just huge crap backlinks from low quality and irrelevant sites (in this case you might have some PR but may not do good in SERPs)
Rankings depend mainly on authority and relevance of incoming links, on-page seo and social signals. As time goes on I believe this list will remain the same but the priority will become more social signals (especially Google's own), followed by on-page seo and then the authority and relevance of incoming links.
"depend on" has a very strong meaning. I wouldn't say it like that because PR is important, but it's not vital. @Cyberchoices said it very well. And considering how fast SEO is evolving, you must not concentrate on a single metric - consider everything and continuously optimize.
no, SERP is not actually dependent on PR, think it like you are doing quality work and following all guidelines then you will automatically rank in SERP but if your content is copied and you are not following google guidelines and you may have high PR but again that is of no use.
Hi, I am not agree with that SERP depends on PR. SERP is depends on you website content and your website optimization. If, your website optimization is fulfilling the end users demands and information that will be very helpful for the getting SERP. Thanks,
The most important point to remember is that PageRank, (like domain age, domain IP and dozens of other factors) is simply a metric that is used to measure a site against the competition. But the work of the whole search engine system can't entirely depend on 1 metric only. No matter how important this metric may be. And the importance of PR these days is also under the question. Of you check site links, you may have noticed that Google hasn't update PR for websites for several months now (since February, if I'm not mistaken), so it's hard to predict what will happen to this metric in the future...
