It’s a common thing said amongst webmasters, what’s your pagerank?  How do you get your pagerank up?  Indeed, pagerank is an important part of your website.  It helps to determine where your page will rank in search engine results.  It’s a measure of the quality and quantity of links to your site.  But is that the one thing you should be focusing on in your website?

Pagerank is just one of many aspects to your sites health.  It is important, but not the most important thing to work on.  You can have a pagerank 1 or 0 site that gets more traffic and generates more money for you than a higher pagerank site.  You have to look at the niche you’re website is in, and the keywords for your site.  If the keywords are highly searched you’ll likely have a lot of competition and a hard time getting your pagerank up.  But that site will probably get more traffic than one that doesn’t have much competition because the keywords aren’t searched often.

Generating traffic is a combination of things, working on the keywords, the pagerank (building backlinks), and generating unique quality content are what you need to focus on to garner the traffic that you want.
