Thank you all for the comments and feedback! Nothing is more gratifying to a writer then when their piece starts a discussion.

I wrote this piece because people tend to take an all or nothing approach to Page Rank and it really hurts your blogging. A lot of us on the technical end forget that despite their relationship to SERPs, which isn’t always clear, your PR is an important part of the business end of running a site. I’m glad that so many of you agree.

Page rank has to count fairly highl doesn’t it? If customers do not know who you are how are they meant to find you if you are two pages back?

In my opinion, Page Rank does matter but Google has a real-time page rank update system which is reflected on the PR toolbar every 3 to 4 months. The real calculations are done using the real-time PR. Although PR is a major ranking factor, there are other important factors that you can’t ignore..

For me, a site’s PR still matters. It still counts as concrete foundation for your website. Without it, you can’t easily distinguish authority website from those that are not.

Perhaps, pagerank is the most important when it comes to SEO. If you take a look at websites such as: Wikipedia, facebook, and youtube. You’ll notice they have the highest pageranks than any other website. This shows how much popularity websites are with pageranks.

Most webmasters said that PR isn’t significantly related with SERPs. There are a plenty of examples proven the the claims. However, it turns to be very important if we sell links to advertisers. The higher PR the higher they will pay.

PageRank of the page matters, but not a lot. However the PageRank of the HomePage is the top factor on Google. Furthermore, Google gives a hidden boost to the PR of HomePages that are competing for keywords.
Having high HomePage PagerRank would not guarantee high positioning for keywords as keyword relevance also matters. Google determines this from on-page factors and the anchor text in the links to the page.
The averaged HomePage PageRanks of the top competitors for keywords is the best metric we have for keyword difficulty. If your website has relatively little HomePage PageRank compared to your competitors, top results page positioning on Google is unlikely.
