    If you got natural links for your PR then the relevance can be significant
    but paid links / link swaps usually show little relevance
    PR is only a small partf of SEO yet peolpe just hype it up so much. chances are your visitors probably don't know what PR is.

    Pagerank might be useless... all I know is my pagerank went up from 0 to 4 in last update. Next day I published a new article which as picked up by google within 5 minutes. It's possible my digg submission had something to with this as well, though.

    I can confirm though that my taffic has so far no changed very much. Maybe a few more visitors from google, though this could just as well be natural growth.

    Higher the PR, greater chances of getting displayed in search engines, more traffic indirectly

    this is a little like the chicken and the egg situation, which one came first? I hear many people saying PR is not that important to traffic, but google is clear that PR DOES play a role in giving higher serps rankings which in truns generates more traffic. I think that link building is key as this will improve your ranking in serps and in the long term drive up your page rank, so they are equally as important
