    Hi Friends

    It "used" to carry a lot of weight in Google's organic ranking algorithm. However, these days the PR of your URL has very little to do with how your URL ranks for a particular keyword phrase. It's one of over 200 ranking factors that Google is looking at... and it doesn't carry near the weight of other relevance related factors like <title> and inbound lilnks.

    It's really only important if you're selling links and you want to be able to overprice those links when selling to idiots that think high PR links are the holy grail.

    In my opinion, a PR is not really too important in rankings. It's a benefit to have a good one but it won't give you much of an advantage to other sites competing for the same keywords.

    The PR of the websites are really important because it show that how much your website is mature on different search engines in terms of backward links as well as domain age factor.

    The only use of PR for webmasters in know is that, you can sell it for thousands of $$$ :D.PR is not of any concern for traffic.

    Hello,

    PR - Page Rank

    Page Rank is the importance of your website given by Google, If your keywords are in top of Google and they have good traffic from search engine then Google will consider your website more important for that keywords.

    So in short I want to say that Page Rank matter is related to your keyword ranking and traffic from search engines.

    Google's Page Rank is important for a website because the higher it is, the more sales and revenue it brings for a website. The PR also counts the relevant backlinks that point to the website, as well as the volume of visitors that your site has.

    Hello,
    PR is important only against a keyword.It is a rating of the quality of your site given by Google counted upon their own algorithm.PR brings traffic for your site.

    PR increases the crawling frequency of Google bot. By this, updated content content gets index faster and appear in serp. Indirectly, PR effects the Google serp.

    But, Google says that PR is not an important factor. So that, they were removed the PR from Google webmaster tools.

    But, PR is important as per my opinion.

    Rightly said, PR only affects the crawling rate nothing else. Higher PR does not mean higher search rankings.

    PR is a measure of the popularity of your site and it may increase as the number of back reference to your site increases from other sites. It may effect SERP positions but to what extent? Nobody knows.

    There are so many factors are there to calculate PR to any site - backlink, inlinks, keyword density, bounce rate, content - Google calculating PR by considering these factors (and many other factors too)..

    As it was calculated by many factors, webmasters found very difficult to high PR; at at the same time, I like these point also to you.,

    # but PR is not enough to keep you in high SERP position
    # high PR doesn't mean that you will get high SERP position
    # PR is not having much influence on SERP ranking
