    If you mean having a high PR for your own website then this is not so important, I have got websites with PR1 which are ranking higher than PR4 for example. This is purely down to getting your SEO strategy right. Having the following done properly will help:
    > Perfect Onsite SEO
    > Good Offsite strategy (Social media links, participating in relevant forums to your niche, bloggin on relevant website BUT not spamming)

    If you are talking about backlinks to your website for your own SEO purpose, then PR and Link authority play a very important role for your website or web page to gain more authority. But again please try and stay away from web spamming, this is only a short term solution and if you have long term goals you should do your SEO as white hat friendly as possible.

    Page Rank plays a major part on this business. It is like your ultimate guide to know if the site that you were visiting or posting are relevant and has sense.

    It is important! But it is not your main goal. First you need to build a unique website with great content. Then you must start getting backlinks from websites that are best quality! The best quality websites are marked by Google with good PageRank. Just a few high PR websites pointing to your page are a way better in building good SERPs that a hundred of spammy PageRank 0 backlinks.

    Getting good backlinks is important in SEO. For what it's worth (which is greatly debated on this forum), those backlinks will result in higher PR. The goal is good backlinks. From them, PR just "happens".
