Thanks Ed, but there has got to be a faster way - 2 million results

As for PR, the highest I have had on a site is a PR3
I have pages within the same site at PR5!

All I did was sig and directory submissions

 

[Damion]

There sure is

RankChecker

Enter your domain/keyword(s) and it gives you the rankings of your domain for the keywords you submit.

Google also only gives you 1000 actual results you can click through as well: 100 pages x 10 results = 1000 results total.

A better question would have been: "What's the most competitive keyword/keyword phrase you have ranked the highest for?"

 

[mis_chiff]

Thanks Ed

Pr 4

 

[Keral_Patel]

I have got #1 for many keywords so don't have to keep looking for other pages :D

But yet mostly I get on 4th or 5th page within somedays and from there my work starts.

 

[Mesa SEO Solutions]

We are ranked #1 in Google for our city, Mesa and SEO.

:bingo:

I really don't care what PR my sites have. If would rather have a PR2 that's on page 1 Google results than a PR6 on page 4. PR doesn't bring in visitors. I DO care what page on Google they show up on with different common searched phrases. I check this monthly and make adjustments accordingly

Phrases

Its not hard to rank number one for certain phrases. I've ranked number one for certain phrases only using directory submission but than again those phrases are not well searched (more of an experiemnt in regard to directory submission).

 

[~ServerPoint~]

I believe that we have some extra exlusive keywords we ranked at the first place, but also I have to say that on our major keywords we were out of luck

 

[Optional]

I had a domain rank top10 for "free porn" for several years straight, which is often named among the very top all time most competitive searches.

I ended up selling it for high xx,xxx.

It was one of my first domains and I was lucky to get there as I didn't start out knowing how to do it. But in hindsight I think the main factors that got it there and helped it stick were

1) lots of varied incoming text anchors that included the words "free porn" in a longer phrase.. think there was virtually no incoming links anchored with just "free porn".

2) I had a system that saw me gaining 20 or 30 new incoming links, with varied link anchors, from on-topic sites each day. (and I never added a burst of thousands of incoming links suddenly)

3) Agreed to exchange links with many other sites who were targeting the same phrase.. no matter what their PR or competitiveness with me... as long as they were going for my same keyword. (sounds counter-intuitive to many webmasters who see all other sites in their niche as a "competitor".. but think this one is actually the easiest and most effective way to get to top of serps and stay there for your keyword... even if it does help other people too.)

4) direct recip links work just as well as 1 way links, if they are with genuinely topic focused sites. Don't get involved with linking anyone that asks for any sort of 'clever' arrangement or tries to tell you that linking you from a different site is 'better for seo'.. as it's not that simple, and these will be the people that water down the relevance of your link network.


Obviously there are other factors too... but as a basic strategy, don't just shotgun for a huge volume of random links, maintaining a majority of incoming and outgoing links relevant to your target phrase will work a lot better over the long term imho.

 

[Razzaq]

hi all...

have pr 3 for my two site and for two other i have pr4

 

[gramma]

I have a PR5 - and several PR4s
i have no idea how i got the PR5 and how it stays there. the pr4s are results of backlinks from the pr5.

 

[angilina]

If you are talking about PR, then I have managed to get PR3.

If you are talking about highest ranking in search results, then there are many keywords where I managed to get on top.

 

[DaddyHalbucks]

I had a PR 6.
