what is your idea ?

No. Actual Page Rank is fundamental to more things than rankings. It also is used in spidering, and many other things Google does better than anyone else. For example, the highest PageRank pages are spidered more frequently than the lowest PageRank pages.

Don't be fooled, I dont believe it based on my experiences and what I know firsthand.

Yes, I also think that Page Rank is an important factor in Google. If you are concerned about traffic though, I would suggest that you work on your search engine ranking position to land on the first page. Hope this helps.

It might be good if they stopped showing the bar it seems to confuse more than help newbies.

PageRank is one of over 200 factors Google uses to determine the ranking of a page. It's an important factor, so it's not going to be "ignored" any time soon. But it's not the only factor, nor is it necessarily even the most important factor.

The problem is that the PR number we mere mortals can see is NOT the same as the PR number Google uses for rankings. The "real" PR is a fractional number between zero and one, while the PR displayed on the Google Toolbar (and, until recently, in Google's Webmaster Tools) is an outdated estimate between one and ten.

The confusion may have arisen because Google has stopped showing the PR number in their Webmaster Tools interface. It is still displayed on the Google toolbar, but -- as it has always been -- it's only updated on the toolbar every few months, while "real" PR (the number they use to determine rankings) is updated constantly.

"Real" PR is still probably about as important as it ever was -- which is to say, important, but not an end-all, be-all for rankings.

So is the PR number displayed on the Google Toolbar -- which is to say, not important at all.

More important than PR is apparent "trust rank" and Google's list of trusted sites. But it's unlikely those will ever be shown to the public.

Actually Page rank is not more important thing Page rank shows only quality of particular page not for whole website quality.
