I dont really get how to determine the competition

lets take the keyword symptoms of anxiety for example

the top hits are PR 7-8

If I have the domain symptomsofanxiety.com and do some basic backlinking, will i eventually get #1? Or do I not even have a chance?

    Even if you dont have a chance, never think that you dont

    Whats it going to cost to try? Apart from time? Even if you can rank for the keyword you want, you can keep going for long tails and still get traffic in that niche.

    You can over rank pr 7-8 as well.. if you do quality work, proper on-page optimization and natural link building I would say.

    PR does not effect ranking, sick of people saying it does.

    you need to check, number of backlinks and the quality, is the keyword in the title, desc,url? age of the site? etc..

    Theres some good tools that do it for you, let me know if you need any advice.

    Page Rank is just 1 factors in Google's algorithm. You can outrank a PR8 website and a lot of websites have done that.
