Toolbar pagerank does not in itself affect how you rank for individual searches. It does, however, reflect how many incoming links you have, which is also one of the important factors of where you turn up in searches - but that's the only connection. Low PR sites often appear higher in searches than high PR sites.
Keep regularly adding quality new content and building incoming links and you'll start to work your way up the SERPs.
Make sure you are tageting the right keywords. Use Google's adwords tool to see what people are actually searching for and create content based on those terms:

One thing on meta keywords, Google say they do not index them and only index the first 160 characters of other meta content.
The most important place to put your keywords is the title of the page, then also as a H1 html element (there should be only one H1 on any page).

PageRank *is* an important ranking factor still, regardless of what some of the SEO pundits like to say.

, not that it matters that much, the only problem I ran into was when signigh up as an affiliate at bodog. They required a Pagerank of 3. Complete BS ofcourse, since my site is quite clean and has a lot of content.
