PageRank does matter
Many bloggers tell you that PageRank isn’t important. Your position in the SERPs is determined by relevant incoming links, with a correct anchor text. PageRank is dead, and it doesn’t help you rank anymore. In fact, some self proclaimed SEO’s tell you that the whole PageRank idea is not important for anything anymore.
“Focus on content, not on PageRank” and “content is king“, are some pristine statements that make me cry, because you should focus on both sides.
Why PageRank is important
In terms of ranking
A king can’t live without his queen, and content can’t live without PageRank.
PageRank and content should go hand in hand. Without content, PageRank is useless, and vice versa. The combination does the trick in the Google SERPs. So, write valuable and linkworthy content, and you will see your site gain spots in the SERPs. I have never seen sites rank for fairly competitive phrases with only content, and no incoming links. In fact, I have never seen such a site in the first place in Google.
In terms of making money
If you still are a firm believer that PageRank is not important, I suggest you check out some of the websites listed below:
* Text link ads: selling links for a minimum of $10.00 a month
* Review Me: $20-$200 for each completed review
* Sponsored Review: same idea as Review Me
* Pay Per Post: write about stuff and get paid.
The amount of money that you will receive, largely depends on your PAGERANK!
Next to this list there are some marketplaces where you can get in direct contact with bloggers/companies so you don’t have to pay transaction fees. Digital Point is such an example.
So, PageRank is important, for ranking and making money 
* Note: I don’t like affiliate links on my website.

It also makes your blog look better, if people have the FF Pagerank and Alexa plugin installed.
“I have never seen a site rank with only incoming links from sites with no PageRank. If you know such sites, please let me know..”
Do a search for “iphone headset” or any other iphone phrase and you’ll see pr0 all over the serps.
Saying a pagerank0 site will never rank is like saying no new site or page can every rank until it’s acquires pagerank, which is false.
I have pr4 sites with tumbleweeds rolling around them and pr2 sites with steady flow of traffic.
Thanks for mentioning. I did not mean it that way. I will fix it
