Yes it is but not more than your content. You can receive thousands of visitors per day with PR0. I have friends in my networks who are full time bloggers and earning hell lot money without having to worry about rankings such as PR and Alexa at all. Because there power tool is post frequency. The more you post the more you receive traffic. If you are destroying your precious hours in looking for backlinks or exchange links and not posting consistently then you are close to nothing.

PageRank and Alexa are important only when you have quality content and Traffic. Amazingly both your traffic and Content are independent of solely Rankings but depend a lot on what you write and publish. Advertisers look for three things when they buy an ad spot: 1. Traffic  2. Alexa  3. PageRank But Google AdSense looks for just one thing and that is Traffic

Unless you have quality content both your PR and Alexa are useless. Because with quality content you get lifetime quality organic Traffic. There are many blogs and websites with PageRank 6.0 in Buysellads directory yet they are not even earning a penny because they spent there great skills on ranking alone and under-estimated the value of good posts, content and shares and as a result ended their careers with hopelessness. My short personal experience says that if there is anything that matters more is Traffic. Writing on things that attract people is what I call blogging.

Below is a video by Google Software Engineer matt cutts where he is answering a question on Why aren't the Google Toolbar PageRank values updated more often? In the same video you will find the answer where he confirms that content is more important than pagerank.

PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page,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 or in other words we can say that Pagerank is a grading system created by the Google for your website based on the total amount of inbound links and they take into consideration the weight those inbound links hold

Pagerank is the general algorithm of Google which ranks a site on the basis of its back links. In fact the main element of allocating a Pagerank to any webpage is the number of sites linking to the webpage and their own Pagerank value. This can also be taken as a popularly contest between high interest sites.

I absolutely agree with prctshpic. Page rank is very important to see your website popularity.  And because of pagerank you check your website position in any major search engine.

Yes, PageRank is important to driving indexing, but for rankings it is nowhere near as important as it once was. SEO has become a much more refined art.

Page Rank is nothing but just shows a worth of your site. high page rabk shows that there is a good repute of your site on search engine.

Building quality backlinks involves more than simply getting other websites to link to your website. Search engines value individual links differently, based on relevance, authority, and timeliness.
