    For me the best is search engine rankings. Because it is a general term use to describe your site's rankings in all search engines specially for the top 3 SE's (Google, Yahoo, Bing). But there are some scenario that when you get high PR from Google, you also get high search engine rankings (but not so often). But I'm not telling you focus only on Google, allot some time for other SE's.

      Thank you for dropping in...Ive noticed some search results, top 1 has a lower PR compared to top 2 and 3 results. Any idea how this works?

        Page rank relates the quantity and the quality of backling towards your site or URL

    PR doesn't depend on keywords, and Search Engine Ranking depends on keywords, right?
    So a well optimized site for a certain keyword with PR 0 can rank higher than a PR10 not optimized for that keyword.
    This is good news for affiliate marketers! If PR was everything that is important SEO would be much harder.

    Search engine ranking is best for your site. This helps your site to get ranked in major search engines like google , yahoo and bing. But for search engine ranking, the page rank comes into play. As of my concern, if your site has good PR, then naturally your site will be listed in top rankings in search engines.

    Its good to have both. But I would prefer search engine rank if I will choose one.

    Who cares about PR, we are all aiming to be no. 1 for our keywords, and get the traffic and revenue, right? I could have -1 PR for all I care! Look at page one for a strong competition and sure, it'll all be high-PR sites, but that's not so much what got them there, it's more like the consequence of being there.
