Does Google Page Rank really matter when it comes to ranking in Google?

As per my knowledge both PR doesn't matter in terms of Ranking.

Helping hand for SEO professionals. This tool will make their way easy with Google Chrome. It is very light weight and fastest of all of them of this category.
Now that Google Chrome has been released with the support of extensions, I thought it would be a good time to get the PageRank extension out the door.What are the best ways to rank well in search engines? Are you stressing over designing the ultimate website?

I think page rank and ranking are two different concepts.

Google PageRank doesn't affect your search engine rankings. It is just the page quality score in the eyes of Google.

For getting high Page rank you have to get Do Follow back links from high page rank sites. This is only the best way to increase page rank of your site.

No, absolutely not. I have seen many top ranking websites with PR0 or 1...and vice versa (many high PR websites ranking no where in top results)

If you want to get better rank in Search Result pages then remember PR is just one
in thousands factor that effect your rank.
PR is totally not important if you want to get better rank.
But PR can be used as a indicator of your backlinking success.

Yes. PR is one of the important factors which determine SERP of a website. However, high PR itself cannot guaranty higher position in Google Search Results.

Page Rank is the numerical measurement of the importance of a website in the eyes of a Search Engine. Websites above PR 4 are considered high PR.

It means bringing you page to the higher position in search engines. Then you will get good traffic.

Hey..

Great informative thread...

Well.. PR is the page rank..It tells us the page and position on page of your site...
It should be high for getting the traffic and generate backlinks...

PR is absolutely important for a website.Some people don't believe this but is the fact.I am about to get a website of my own,PR will be one of my top priority.

According to me PR ie page rank is really a big issue as it determine the visibility of the website in front of search engine.

i am not sure, because i don't care about pr too much
i think it unnecessary

PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page and used by the Google Internet search engine, that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is referred to as the PageRank of E and denoted by PR(E).

PageRank is not as important as it once was. There are now many more variables in the first place, to determine how a page is closed. High PageRank means more traffic, more or an even higher ranking more. But it's a pretty good indication of the number and strength of inbound links a website has.

Yes it Matters..!
But for getting better ranking, SEO of the site has to be done, on both on page and off site.

Google rank and Google page rank both are different things.
Main important for your website as for my view Google page rank is very important.

Yes it does matter, as google is the major search engine and there are lots of things performed in SEO keeping google terms and condition in mind

Yes and No,
Yes because, if suppose two Sites are fully optimized ( both on and off site ) but one is having low rank then probably Higher rank would have greater chance to show off in search result..!

No, only if Having a high page rank but lacking in SEO of the Keyword term..

So, most important is the Site Optimization both on and off site page/post and having a unique content..
            "The above answer is based on my personal experience''

yes it comes to matter......

Search engines PageRank doesn't impact your serps. It is just the website quality report in the face of Search engines.

Pagerank is one of the measures which gauges the popularity and credibility of a website.

For getting high Page rank you have to get Do Follow back links from high page rank sites. This is only the best way to increase page rank of your site.

Google page rank depends on the backlink you build through link building techniques

yes PR and google ranking both are different things PR show the quality of your website.
