BigDave, I suspect that we differ more on our definition of 'important' (in that context) than on the actual importance of the direct affect of PR on raking. :-)

> not so much when you are comparing pages with close PR, like a PR4 page and PR7 page

I would consider PR4 and PR7 as hugely different. Not so evident when looking at the direct affect on rankings (as other factors tend to be more important), but very evident when it comes to the other uses of PageRank (roughly two to five orders of magnitude).
