If you are aiming for a decent or a high PR then yes you will need to load up on the backlinks for sure. As PR is just an element which is conceptualized by Google having a number from 1 to 10 in its toolbar and nothing else and it is greener if you have the links on the site as Google loves them.

Backlinks are for PR and content is for traffic.

It depends how competitive the markets/categories you want to target.

Dont listen to natural elements lol, someone sprinkled dum dum flakes on his cornflakes.

PR is all based on the number of backlinks that you have and the PR rating of the pages linking to yours. Natural Elements is refering to SERP position.

The post above has an image showing how many links needed, HOWEVER it may not be very accurate or even close to accurate.

PR is a vote, but not only in the way you just described lol

WHAT? Where are you getting your information from? Google PageRank (PR) has absolutely NOTHING to do with how competetive the markets/categories are that you are targeting.

PageRank is a term applied by Google to measure the importance of a specific page. Basically it measures the quantity and quality (based on PR) of sites that link to a particular page.

PageRank Technology: PageRank reflects Google's view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that Google believes are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.

PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. Important pages receive a higher PageRank and appear at the top of the search results. Google's technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page's importance. There is no human involvement or manipulation of results, which is why users have come to trust Google as a source of objective information untainted by paid placement. http://www.google.com/corporate/tech.html

Sorry Cricket, I don't buy that, and I will tell you why.

On this page natural-elements-online com/cart.asp I am PR4 and there is nothing justifying PR4. I've got some very nice articles there
natural-elements-online com/articles-on-natural-hawaiian-skin-care.asp and some are PR0.

[Steven_D]

yeah lol could be many things that will effect it, all I know is I dont work for google so I dont know anything 4 sure.

[Cricket]

BTW some of that PR is flowing through your own pages, not just from outside sites.

In terms of your belief, I respectuflly disagree, and so does Google.

Yes Cricket I understand you 5/5, but it doesn't make any senses to me getting PR on empty pages, this one was just an example, there are others like that.

This is why PR is just a gadget green for me, particularely when I beat some PR5 or PR6 on the Search Engine Ranking Pages Results ;-)

[businessservicesuk]

Cricket is right, the juice on this page is taken from your homepage. Generally there is some dilution but if a site is well optimised this is less. There is content, what are the navigation bars?

Everyone has their own views on PR, I personally believe very little I read on forums.

I am more interested in every other SEO subject apart from PR. It is simply an ego number that has little relevance.

[redeemer_spawn]

I agree that every individual have their own perception in terms for PR.,

[Natural Elements]

I agree that everyone has their own views on PR. Once again the green bar doesn't reflect the reality, perhaps google should upgrade this tool to get the PR and the Serps included, it will be only one efficient tool for everybody.

[skysoldier]

Yup, it is true that the more quality backlinks there is a good chance that you can get a higher PR. I hope the next upgrade that G will do is that they will count PR as one of the factors in ranking a page! Just hoping!
