I think thousands of directory owners and link sellers would beg to differ PR still matters since it's still quite a lucrative business for various webmasters, although it may not matter that much in the SERPS.

People who say PR doesn't matte are lazy people who try to ignore the work that you must do to get a higher PR.

For me, PR is still important (but not as important as SERP!); especially on link exchange, wherein when you have high PR, you have tendency to link also to other of same PR.

From me!

From day one of the internet...and this is way before showed up!
It was always, GET TRAFFIC!!!!

Pr is great to get, but don't waste your time obsessing about it, or trying everything under the sun to get pr.

Instead focus on getting TRAFFIC!!!

Where would you rather advertise?
1. PR3 (or whatever pr) and little to no traffic.
2. PR0 with hundreds or thousands of visitors per day.

If you pick 1, you are basically wasting your money!

I have seen pr sellers who want big bucks, but ask for traffic proof and they hem and haw, and just point out, "look at my pr".
