    What is better?

    100 unrelated Backlinks, which will get you a PR 3?
    Or 10 high-related Backlinks with anchor?

    ;)

    Respectfully, Jim, I think you missed my point. I understand that both PR and SERP ranks are measures of a site's trust... to put it another way, when Google trusts your site, it ranks it higher and gives it higher page rank. The webmaster guidelines doc you point to says that these are two different tools used to measure about the same thing, not that PR is used to determine SERP rank.

    I think that I'm among the seeming majority who wish that PageRank would just go away! I long for the day when the search engine algorithms become sufficiently capable of reading and evaluating the content of a website and making the quality and relevance of that content the main factor in search engine rankings.

    To that end, I work much, much harder on my content than I do on pursuing PR. However, until that hoped-for day comes when "content is (actually) king" to the search engines, I will continue to do sufficient linkbuilding to keep a decent PR. At present (and probably less and less so in the future), PR still does matter some. Don't yet relegate it to the "worthless" or "useless" category until Google itself does that.

    probably because people will easily find you and link you across the similar forums
    sites and discussions...

    It depend on how many people are fighting for that single keyword.

    Getting more quality will improve your PR at the same time your SERP.

    It is clear that the SERP rankings are based on a variety of factors, and only one among those is PR. Sometimes however a high correlation (of the total and absolute content on the site as well as in its URL) with the searched keyword, tips the SERP ranking in favor of a low PR yet highly relevant (as perceived by google) site. This conclusion is based on anecdotal evidence and recent experience with some of my low PR sites.

    Hope this is useful.

    yes,search is depends upon keyword match
    then its depends upon fresh updated of sites and its latest new added content or links.

    So,it may possible low pr site come up and above high pr sites.

    Everything depends on the website content and also that how much traffic(visitors) are coming on the website.
