I agree with lifeplayer, traffic has no relation with PR. PR started being seen as not so important (as told by Matt Cutts, the Google Quality Control guy) about 2 years ago which is why some of you may have seen a decrease.
Once again, I want to put emphasis that your Google PR is not the only method of calculating your ranking on the search engines. Right now, I would say Google PR is a really a minor issue. Things like TrustRank (which I think I mentioned before in this thread) are increasingly important.
Concentrate on having better quality content instead of how many links are going back to you. Think about it - if people like your website, they are more likely to link back to you than if your website is awful.
I totally agree with you lodestar. Quality of content is king. I think many often try to concentrate very hard on achieving high pr as the ultimate factor to increasing traffic. End of the day, if you have the traffic, it is only temporary because you will still need good content to keep your readers tuned in. Focus on the content- that's the key.Once again, I want to put emphasis that your Google PR is not the only method of calculating your ranking on the search engines.
