Our main website is quite a popular one and maintains a good PR3 link. Also, our chief competitor's main webpage is also a PR3 link. While we are on the same lines when the PR link of our main page is concerned, the same is not the case for certain keywords. For the keyword 'booklet printing' they are being displayed on page one and while we aren't able to compete there with them, for 'cheap leaflet printing' also we aren't able to figure on the 1st page.

Why is it happening so? What could be done here in this case?

    Your query is very hard to interpret. Clarifications are required before you can be helped in more detail. I don't know
    1. What you mean when you say things like "Our main website <...> maintains a good PR3 link." A link from what to what?
    2. "While we are on the same lines when the PR link of our main page is concerned" -- this statement makes no sense. What links are you talking about? And what lines?

    In general, you shouldn't worry too much about PR. PR plays only a small part in Google rankings. The short answer is that your competitor ranks higher than you for certain keywords because they have better SEO. They may have engaged a professional. For your post I can see that you don't know SEO. You should consider engaging a qualified professional as well, it could do wonders for you.

    backlinks....backlinks.....backlinks.....have you checked their backlinks lately? Not so much the amount of backlinks but the quality of their backlinks......pop their url into yahoo search bar

    site:theirwebsite.com

    When it comes to competition back link analysis you really want to know your competition from the inside out...find out where they are getting their backlinks from and try to also obtain links from the same place.

    Also get more quality backlinks for your given keyword and I will assure that you will outrank them in due time.....

    Look at content amount, keyword density, meta tags and though you have same PR doesn't mean you have same traffic.

      Incoherent gibberish. I understand you want to plug your sig, but can you try to say something meaningful?
