Wrong! It's the backlinks that create the PR

Wrong again. If that was the case then every result page for every query would be returned in "PR" order. Which obviously is NOT the case.

Keyword density, placement is being more important

Doing well here!
A 100% record.

I guess page rank is important. Its good for link exchange, selling of links, buying of links. Thus it play an important role..

As per my view, I think Google SERP only depends on backlinking. For example, if you take a keywords and found that google serp flactuates in a week several time,s that means the top 100 website as per that keywords have increased backlinks, so google count them, and serp poistion changes.

I will go for traffic and backlinks they matter more than PR

your on the right track... but we can't remove the old habit in waiting to get the site high PR and link to those.

I've never concentrated too much on PR, and I think the content of your site is the most important factor.

i just read this post from page one to page 6. It makes me confuse. what should i do? Should i go for backlinks? or should i concentrate on pr?

PR will come along with backlinks anyway.

From what i know,
PR made by backlinks and decreased by links from your webpage to other webpage.So i think low PR backlinks also good(if you got many of them).

and you should not concentrate on PR if you want high traffic as high traffic comes from SERP not PR

well CMIIW

Just get some backlinks and ignore the SGB.

Different factors affect on rise or drop of pagerank. For drop I think the most common reason is blackhating. Anyway you need to go through your website and check out if there are blackhating techniques or not.

If you're gonna sell links believe me soon you'll not have any rank . The thing is that there is something called link factory and which is hated by google and other search engine crawlers. Better to work on something else than selling links.

Pagerank depands on no of inbound links ,outbound links or some other constant factors . and also page rank doesnt count how well your site comes in SERPs.

yeah landon

If your site has a high PR does it mean it can get much traffic too?

No.

It can be a great thing having a site that enjoys high PR scores but PageRank is not a guarantee to reach the top spots on Google. It is definitely possible gaining some great and quality links from relevant resources and their PR be absolutely zero. Link building might or might not lead to higher PR values in most cases. Natural and editorial backlinks are always powerful, regardless of their green status.

The general consensus is that PageRank is not as important for your site, as it is for sites linking to you.

And it will be important if you you are selling ad space, links, or a domain.
