Understanding PageRank - The best in the business

Is there any way on Google (or has anyone written a search) to view sites only with a particular page rank.

Obviously it would be really useful to all SEOs to be able to just view a load of PR 8 or 9 sites and analyse how they've succeeded.

One other thing... I have been award of a PR9 site that has used faked backlinks and have complained about them every month to Google's Spam team but still the site is up there with a PR9 after every dance - are there any other steps that can be taken?

I tried the same method and it didn't work. Maybe there's something about that code I learnt in other thread (the "gladiola" code )

What do you mean by "faked" backlinks? Can you give an example?

Thanks, Gringo.

Respectfully, balonya to PR 8,9,10, and more

What are the SERP?

All I care about is where the other site is listed in a search. Work backwards from their.

OK...I submit to hysteria </joke>. View Googles Directory and the default sort is by PR. Not the number but the bar.

You can call me PR2 any time you want As long as my PR2 pages produce targeted traffic and a reasonable number of PageViews per Google generated unique.

HTH

With all respect Steve_S, from a webmaster point of view is correct. But for a user who searches for some info on Psoherba, to find those ridiculous pages we've discussed in the other thread or to get to a link farm when he is looking for some travel destinations... it's not pretty at all.

After all... I'm payed for targeted visits, not for the quantity of visited pages. I don't waste time on creating everything for everybody, because my client does not want this.

So, in conclusion, of course I'm mad when a PR9 porn page gets first in Google when it's obvious it used some "illegal tricks".

Robert, I agree on every thing you said. I really do. Are we both still buddies in the SEO Secret Club

My post only concerned this part of the Topic starters Post and thats all I was referring to and thats all I was answering and or trying to provide guidence:

"Is there any way on Google (or has anyone written a search) to view sites only with a particular page rank.

Steve_S is right

PR shouldn't carry the value that people put on it

It takes up too much time that could be more usefully placed elsewhere - for example finding niche keyword phrases that you put on a page that has only a few other sites using but has a number of people visiting.

You place the page become no 1 and bingo you get all the traffic

Now in my book that might take an hour per page - 8 pages per day and you have improved your collection by up to 8 times!

I think that carries more weight in my book

The easiest way to do that by the way Foxy is to get yourself a search engine friendly Forum. Each post becomes a new indexable page and is normally on theme and most of the time you don't have to even create the pages as everyone who starts a new thread is essentially doing it for you :-)
This very site has 2,100 pages indexed by google (http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.seochat.com+inurl:*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=30&sa=N) So the best way to get indexable content is imo through communities. WMW is a prime example of what a SE friendly forum can do for PR and ranking. I didnt add a German language forum on my site just for visitors, I also had my own ranking reasons as well and still get a fair amount of entry pages being particular threads.

So the easy way to create new content on a daily basis without even doing it all yourself, is to create a good forum :-)
