well about 80% of traffic comes from google or google driven SEs. my most profitable site listed in SEs gets 90% of traffic from google (and ones that use it). with that numbers in mind I know google is currently the name of the game. PR helps if all the other aspects on SEO are in place, but if PR is all you have then it means nothing. you don't need to be PR5 or PR6 to get link trades. you can get them even with PR3 just fine. have in mind that nowdays getting PR bigger than PR2 is easy.

I'll tell you how to start in case you don't have noticeable PR yet:
- get listed on sites that will list you without the need of linking back. someone can do you a favor. you can trade that link for money or other things with webmasters. you can always trade stuff with other business people. you might have something they need and you need 1 link. you must try getting listed on DMOZ. read their rules carefully because they changed it not too long ago. when at both try getting listed on site with PR4 or 5 with little links on that pages.

That will sure shoot you to PR3 (or PR4) with the next google crawl.

- now you need more links and with that PR you can link with other sites of that PR. soone you will have PR4 and you continue the game till you get to PR5.

now you are there where you want to be now, having that PR5.
