    According to me , if you are competing for a keyword which has much competition ... and you have already put much content , got backlinks from quality related sites etc ... But still the site will have very low ranking in Google ...

    In my opinion , it is only the PR update which will rise the ranking of the site ...

    Sites with Keywords which has very few results , less competition does not normally need the PR update .. they can rank well even before the PR update

    Am i right ?

    i have seen many people here misguide members in threads by saying PR is not important at all ... But if you are in a niche where most of the sites have a PR of above 6 , you will never be in the top 10 with a PR of 1 .. Sites with quality content get Natural backlinks from sites .. this boost their ranking ...

    the toolbar pr only get updated every 3 months or so, BUT google use internal pr that is more accurate than that shown by the toolbar and is updated far more often

    Yep.. toolbar pr is only a snapshot.. like a good/bad photo when your out on the town..

    Plus the old assumtions that google make with dynamic pages e.g. pr4 with one var in the query string add another it becomes a pr3 and so on.. assumed not actual..

    PR doesn't effect ranking in that way and I agree that it is updated all the time, much like the Google SERPs. It is quite possible to have decent PR and still not rank well.

    Google tool bar is pretty accurate I think.

    There's no need to wait for PR updates to continue quality work on a site.

    I don't agree that you need a high PR to rank well. Granted, there is a correlation to some extent, but it's not the end all per se.

    The homepage of my female celebrities site is only PR3 and not expected to go up ... mainly because I waste too much time here. No, actually it's because I don't worry about PR and link exchanges as much as the site's content. That being said, I out perform several like sites that have higher PR than me; more than double my PR in many cases, but I still manage to pull in more traffic.

    I won't say that PR isn't important, but I do think that people overly obsess over it.
