    Toolbar Pagerank is not an accurate way to evaluate your website's ranking - although it can give you a trend.

    Toolbar PR is not updated enough - I have seen sites with toolbar PR 0 ranking on competitive terms.

    But backlinks are important. So I would advice that you use a good backlink analysis tool and check and compare how many backlinks (from different sources and subnets you have - compared to your competition). That will generally point you in the right direction.

    Toolbar pagerank is different from site page rank. Anyways backlinks are important to increase your site positions on Google meaning increased page rank. Sites position in search engine is almost same as page rank.

    In my opinion, I think that page rank used to matter a lot more in the past, but now, its value for SERP has been constantly diminishing.

    Actually PR is not matter for search position. You have to see that a site is PR5 but PR2 site is Visitable up. O ha PR is main factor in site value.

    Well SERP is affected by PR. But I think if someone search using particular keywords then the latest updated sites shows fast whether thay may have a PR or not. Well one of my site having the same situation. It has no PR yet but it shows on SERP 8-9 as I regularly update my site content. So just try updating your content and build link with reelvant high page ranked sites. SERP will improve automatically.

    yes, PR is one of the factor that affect you SERP but not the only factor.
    There are many other factors such as domain name, h1,h2 tag, description, content, backlink etc that are affecting your SERp as well

    Pagerank may effect your ranking, but it's not "everything", you need to worry about backlinks and link building more then PR and increasing it. :)
