NO.

PR is almost irrelevant with regard ranking position. Before you all throw stones at me, let me explain.

PR (page Rank) is simply a mathematical calculation of the value of the links pointing to you. The keyword here is 'value' numerical value, and nothing else. So if you have a PR10 page about web design pointing to your page about gardening with the anchor text of 'click here' then you get the same pr transfer as if your page was about anything else. The content has ne effect at all on your ranking.

The most important elements in SEO are, page title & Anchor text in links, closely followed by content on the page. Get these three elements right, and you will be well on your way to good rankings.

Back to the gardening page: Same link from the same page, but with the anchor text of 'gardening tips' then you are well on the way to ranking for gardening tips. It is the 'content' of the link that matters more than the link itself. In the google algo there are three parts to a link. The anchor page, the target page, and the link anchor text. The anchor text works as a bridge between the pages.

So if your page was titled 'gardening tips' and the anchor text coming in said 'gardening tips' and the content on the page was all about 'gardening tips' then , like I said, your well on your way.

There is obviously a lot more to SEO that those few things, but that is the basic essential that should be in place.
