    Hai dude! PR is all about how many backlinks your site has where as the traffic is determined by the popularity in the SERP. For e.g. if your site comes up within the top 10 queries for a highly competitive keyword in google, then you will likely to get a decent / good traffic which will eventually convert into a good adsense income (if you monetized it!). Make your site more popular by doing the SEO work perfectly, constantly updating the contents along with building backlinks continuously:D

    Yeah, PR is pretty much useless, though it is a minor component used to calculate SERPs. It's definitely does not equate to more traffic. You need to rank better in teh SERPs for that.

    I have to agree with some of you that PR is useless... Traffic is the best thing you need to concentrate on.. If you blog because you want to sell links this PR3 blog might help but.. without visitors..nobody want to advertise in your blog too...

    So... PR is just PR nothing more than PR... some well known blogger had their PR zero but still making thousands of dollars...monthly...

    PR is mainly determined by the number of backlinks to your site.

    So even if you had about a 100 odd links from various sites pointing to you, you would get some PR. Your traffic will be determined on how relevant the search engines feel your site is for a particular keyword. If the keyword appears in your title and description and a fair number of times on the page and you have links pointing to you with that keyword as anchor text, the chances of you ranking for it are that much higher.

    PR = backlinks quality + quantity
    Traffic = Revenue

    PR is the value Google places on your content. It has nothing to do with traffic and ranking per se. Ranking for a given keyword is determined by backlinks with that anchor text and authority. PR is a measurement of overall authority and value.

    People still get confused thinking a higher PR will lead to more traffic instead of focusing on the SERP`s which are king.

    Page rank is irrelevant, you should focus on building quality backlinks to improve your serp.

    PR will not bring in traffic. You need to do on page and off page SEO and build lots of back links.
