Hi guys, I am currently trying to rank a keyword I am targeting, and one of the results above me is a news.yahoo.com article that has pagerank 0. The Pagerank of news.yahoo.com the domain is 8. I am curious to know what the significane of that PR is in this scenario. Should I only be concerned with the pagerank of the page I am trying to outrank? Or am I wasting my time against a pagerank 8? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. :confused:

      ROTFLMAO! If one just looks at yahoo news, they
      could care less about #1-26. Such a list is inane at
      best, crazy at worst.

      The PR of a domain has little to do with the domain of a page.
      It does flow downhill, but not on its own like that.

      The news article probably is PR0.

      It depends on how badly you wish to create a page about
      it and nurture it. I would not be concerned about yahoo
      news as a competitor.

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.
