    SERP is very important since it bring you more natural traffic if your SERP is good
    PR do not affect SERP much

    PR has nothing to do with -
    1) SERPs
    2) Earnings
    3) Traffic

    PR is just a measure of the number of backlinks you have to your website, which indirectly means, more exposure and better link sales.

    I disagree. Many company looks at PR in terms of reputability. Sure you can gain high rank in serps with a PR1 but major company and top class sites always have high PR. High PR also means higher spider activity and I have found out it even effects the Yahoo SERP for my site. As in term of Google I would assume from my experience its effects pretty later causing webmaster to assume that PR does not affect their Google ranking.
    PR is also helpful when you want to sell your site. Selling ads or links also requires a good PR. Though selling links is discouraged.
    For me exchanging links is better and as higher PR sites would have no prob to exchange links with our high PR sites then we can also benefit SEO and traffic from other sites we link with.
    In a nutshell PR is important or they won't put the pagerank term in Google's description:) However, you need to stay focus and as the posts above says don't target PR as an aim but just a small proof of your site's success.
    Cheerio
    Green me if you think I am right:D No red though if you don't agree. lol..:p

    If you really want to boost your SERPS, you will have to focus on other things such as linkbuilding and other reputation building strategies.

    I heard pagerank described once as not necessarily affecting where you rank, but whether you rank meaningfully at all. I think that's a StomperNet quote.

    no it's can't happen that if you have high PR then your sites ranked high with SERPS.
    PR is because of your Traffic, and On Page Factor affected while SERPS comes with Good link building.

    According to the very Google's official guidelines, PageRank is simply the algorithm that ranks the results in the SERPs.

    But you have to make the difference between the non-displayed PR, which is permanently calculated, and the displayed PR, which on a scale of ten. And it is only a result.

    Most people goes for PR to earn bucks from pages by placing ads. There are lots of ad network coming live on the web that make people greedy. I won't say that PR does not matter much. It's one of the factor for search rankings.

    If PR does help in link building then PR helps in SERPs.

    PR--> LINK BUILDING-->SERPs.

    This is just your logic that you contradicted the way I understand it. Please clarify..

    for top 10 ranking if we go through google guideline then, there are at least 1000 factors that they count, so PR is just 1/1000 part of that factor in serp,

    ya PR can help you to sell link, in link exchange you can good links if you have higher PR.
