Is there a tool that can calculate the average pagerank of the top 10 sites for keywords

[cweber]

Hello all. I am looking for a tool that I could input a keyword and it would bring up the top 10 results from google.com and show their pagerank and then take the pagerank from each of the top 10 sites and calculate the average pagerank of that keywords top 10 results?

I have been looking but so far no luck. If there is a good tool for doing this that would be awesome. Thanks a lot

Why would you need such a thing? If its for a good reason that makes sense, I will help you out and do some research to try to find it. I just can not imagine why you would need anything like that.

Don't know of a tool that does that, but if you use Firefox (and if you're into SEO you should be) just download the SeoQuake addon, add up the PR results on the SERPs first page and divide by 10. You might want to download SearchStatus and Rank Checker addons as well.

I don't understand why you would need such a tool?

A PR0 can rank #1 while a PR6 can rank #5 on the 1st SERP.

Getting an average PR isn't going to prove anything, at least I don't see how it could.

If I'm wrong, someone correct me,

The purcpose of it is for keyword research. I am doing amazon product reviews and targeting product keywords. So when choosing the products to target I would like to know wat sites are in the top 10 of Google and their pagerank.

If I calculate the average pagerank of the top 10 sites to be 4+ it tends to be harder to rank quickly and start profiting, which is what I'm after with my reviews. However if the average pagerank is a 0-3 it tends to be a lot easier to obtain a quick page 1 ranking.

So that's why I would like a tool to do this, just another aspect of doing the proper keyword research.

I can't think of anything that automatically works out the average, but if you have traffic travis or market samurai, they list the pr of each site in the top 10, 20, or 30 of the keyword you choose, and then it's an extra 20 seconds to add it all up and divide by 10...(like someone else already mentioned.)

Tbh, I don't think it's a great way to judge seo competition, but if it's been a good gauge for you in the past then go for it...!

I think the cableguy is spot on. Seoquake will provide you the information in seconds, that is what i do prior to any SEO work

Hi,

Most folks don't understand your goal but I do.

It is the strength of the competition. It doesn't matter how many millions of competing webpages in such keyword but if those top 10 webpages has at total average 3 or lesser then you can easily outrank them (My preference is PR 2 or less) so I even don't need to add much backlinks and lots of content I can still land in the first page. That is very effective technique my friend that most SEO marketers don't understand.

My only other consideration here is the volume of searches per month then I am ready to use the keyword.

I got a site ranking Number 1 using a competitive keyword (ask the nurse online) with 43+ Million competing pages using that technique.



Currently I am using a software that is included in a membership site to do that task but as of now I don't really need the membership but I just need the software so I am looking for desktop application that will do the same.

Or my other option is to let somebody create this kind of script and put more functionality.

Cheers.

Hello guys. This is my first post, and this thread was the one that made me register, so far I have only been peeking. :-)

Aries26, could you tell me which membership site you use? Does it AUTOMATICALLY calculate the avg PR of top 10 your do you still have to do the math yourself?

Also you guys who don't understand the concept - you are kind of right. I have seen a lot of first pages that have an avg PR of less then 2 but is still extremely hard to get into. I don't know why.

And that's exactly why I decided to ask you guys: can you tell me a hint of some other parameters that you can judge how hard it's going to get into the first page? Maybe the avg PR of "main domains" on the first page instead of pages? Average ages? Number of indexed sites? Number of backlinks on each page? What parameters have YOU been looking at?

Thank you,

Cheers!

Hi,

The MoneyWord Matrix Keyword Tool at the Niche Profit Classroom does this calculation automatically for you. It also sources other keyword data, i.e. search volume, competing sites, and AdWords bid prices.

It used to do OCI data too, but as that's too unreliable (Microsoft's fault, not NPC's), it's being deprecated/removed in later versions.

Cheers,

Andy.

Calculator.

But really, you can outrank a higher PR site if you have a keyword rich domain, better on-page SEO, and some decent backlinks. (Unless it's a huge authority site that's been around forever.)

Agree with JSProjects

PR seems not accurate these days.

I recently have a 4 month old site with not not much backlinks that shot up from PR0 to PR4!

Nevertheless, I will still check the PR of the top 10 results in Google though
