HERE'S WHAT I THINK
Does Page Rank Matter?
A lot of people think Page Rank (PR) matters. They believe the higher your PR the higher you get placed in the search engines.
PR has had it's day and is totally pointless these days!!
Page Rank is for link whores only and does not help in any way shape or form to rank in the search engines.

http://SEOGranted.org -Says it all. A high PR can lure more visitors. Where as a page with no PR, can quickly be exited by the small traffic it does get.

PR Does matter, For Web Directories it does the most, the more the PR of the directory, the More the directory will charge for each link submission, Also blogs look ahead to increase their blog PR so it can be sold at a rate and they can sell backlinks by link ads and blog posts.
All sites need and give backlinks for PR.
So the moral of the story is,
PR IS IMPORTANT, if not then upto some extent !

Page Rank certainly matters to Google. It's still one of the important factors in their ranking algorithm. Not worth getting caught up in the toolbar page rank so much, but it certainly makes a difference in ranking.

Page Rank is part of Google's algorithm and it does matter to some degree. A page rank value of unranked can be an indication of a page not being indexed or even being removed from Google's index. It also factors into the frequency of the Googlebot crawl

Page Rank Is Pointless
Charlie says:
I have had a website online for over 2 years and the last year I have had 14,000 Unique visitors a month and my PR just dropped to (1) from (2). Please note that my indexed results moved to #2 position which is better than before.

I agree PR can, and often is manipulated. Though it is often satisfying to opitimise a site and see it gain PR and also gain visits as a result

Page Rank, as in toolbar Page Rank is basically irrelevant. It's amusing to watch, but meaningless unless you're trying to sell links to people that don't know any better. I've had well optimized low page rank sites outperform numerous highly ranked sites. There's a Page Rank element to the Google algorithm but it's not the number shown in your toolbar.

For ranking, it's pointless. So to answer the question, no I don't believe in Pagerank - I've had sites with PR0 rank for excellent keywords (though they're now on higher PR).
