see when you are not targeting high competition keywords you don't need PR but when you are targeting high competition keywords you need PR..why?
Google don't give PR for fun, It is for page value in google algorithm...
very simple you have link from high PR site and then Google give you a that much value...
Its very impotent

if you'll look at the picture you'll understand that pagerank only works if it's being multiplied on relevance.. it does not work separately..

And if you look at the picture then read the PR formula you'll find the "ranking model" dreamed up by SEOMoz is a complete load of garbage!

Why page rank is important to a Website? It isn't.

PageRank is important to the website becasue through the PageRank of your site visitors know that you have a quality site or not? means it shows you quality of websites that are linking to your webpage. But one of the true about this page rank is that If you have a good and unique content and have a lot of good quality backlinks then you can surely get great SERPs in no time before your PageRank will update but if your have good page rank but no quality content then Google will not guarantee you traffic from search engines.

I agree with your points.That's right High PR is identify a good site for Search engine. no one can say high PR means gets High traffic.

PageRank is important to the website becasue through the PageRank of your site visitors know that you have a quality site or not?

And how many "visitors" who are NOT "link beggars" know what the SGB is, how many are going to have the Google toolbar and those who do have turned the SGB display on?

Don't kid yourself that real people are fixated on the SGB most won't even know it exists.

Well I think this is quite obvious, the higher you are on the google rank the more clicks you will receive which turns out to more traffic more money etc.

Yeah, I heard that too. Although I'm sure it must have been more along the lines of:

"What shall we call it? - how about page [web] rank?"

"Oh, and my name last name is Page"

"Right, we are soooo calling it Page [larry/web] Rank!"

I think this is very clear, more google ranking will have more clicks to get more traffic that occurs in more money, etc.

No, I do not think, Page Rank is not important

High page rank is important for website as it enables website to get a higher place in the SERP over the other low PR websites.

PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms.

Out of all those possibilities what single possible criteria would be of such great value to drop a site from a PR5 to a 4? At least Alexa's ranking goes into the hundreds of thousands. That makes mathematical sense. To say they use all them parameters and then arbitrarily recombine the results into only ten divisions seems ridiculous. Why don't they just report the whole rank decimals and all?

Page is very important for a website as it describe the quality of website.

Finally there is an advertisement by word of mouth marketing is one of the most profitable. Necessarily something that you can get yourself, but marketing is a way to free their existing customers and visitors have not been completed. Word of mouth marketing back links to your site users to share links to their own as works by connecting to websites. Many companies and websites that social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to increase your traffic have benefited from Thanksgiving. The possible way you can help a website and the service is worth talking about is providing. You like your website and promote these sites in terms of their marketing strategies by their side, they are more motivated visitors who will visit them by then is likely to be seen. If they like what they see, they use the bookmark and link back to other ways they know with other web users to share, so you can provide you with free marketing

Page Rank is like a grade that Google assigns to a page. It depends on the number of inbounds and outbounds links to your website. High page rank does not guarantee top ranking in SERP. High page rank means Google likes your page more and your page is of good quality but as far as traffic is concerned , try to optimize for suitable keywords.

I dont think page rank really has a great value or important to a website. For me it's just the measurement of reputation of a site. Rankings is still far beyond important than PR.

Some people say that the Google Pagerank isn't important anymore, some say yes. However, I think it's still important and a good rule that we should follow.

May be it is a goodwill of a website who has higher page rank.

if your keywords has some search volume

I feel there is too much importance given to PR. PR is just the end result of your content.
If you have good content, more people will visit your site, more people will link to you and higher will be your PR.
