whey does amazon/walmart/ebay show as PR0

I'm doing keyword research, looking for low PRs in the top ten (using seoquake plugin), but i'm finding that sites like amazon and walmart are often showing up as PR 0s. What's up with that, first of all? And second, should i discount them as PR 0s if I'm using them as a metric for low competition? Thanks.
#amazon or walmart or ebay #pr0 #show #whey

    The PR of the page is probably referring to the actual product page. If you check the main domains of those sites, they'll be much higher.

      Exactly These pages tend to rank based on the authority of the site overall. That's how a PR 0 page with very little content can get into the top 10 on the big G.

    PR is assigned to a page, not a domain. A domain home page can be PR9, yet the individual product pages PR0, which is what you are seeing.

    I think you are asking the wrong question.

    You shouldn't be asking why they have a low PR.

    You should ask yourself, what does that tell you about the tool you are using ...

      Why should he be questioning the tool he's using?

      The tool is telling him that the inner pages of the websites that are ranking have low page rank....which is correct

    Why are you looking at page rank? Are you looking to make some affiliate product pages or something?

      yes, i'm starting out in this and trying to make high-ranking amazon review sites. as i'm picking my niche, one of the things i'm looking for is low-competition.

        I think Wolf's answer was short, to the point, and accurate.

        Peace

    Hmmm... so what's the best way of systematically gauging low competition?

      The best way to gauge competition for a given term is to do a broad search for it and see what the first page of results gives you. If it is filled with PR 0 and PR N/A pages with weak backlink profiles, competition should be considered very weak. I make a very good monthly income online doing exactly this so I know for a fact that it works.

        Thanks, Wolf.

        So the top10 Google results should be filed with PR 0 and N/A. This excludes large sites like Amazon, Ebay and brand-name websites, which happen to rank for that particular page, right? And by filled, we're talking half or more, or as long as it contains one or two PR 0s or N/As at least and it's good?

        And lastly, this applies to any keywork variation? So if I was looking for sonic tunnlers (made up term), if the top 10 had all high PR for "sonic tunnler" i shouldn't get into that niche? Or would it be OK, as long as "the cheapest sonic tunnlers" or "top sonic tunnler review" had low PR results? ....I'm confused about this part :confused:

          I target individual products and do no keyword research. As such, I prefer page one to consist entirely of PR NA and PR 0, regardless of what sites they are. That said, I'm always happy to see a page one filled with blogspot posts.

    So many people fail to understand that Google rankings and PageRank are based on pages and not sites/domains.

    Amazon has thousands and thousands of pages, but it is still quite easy to outrank a lot of them as they don't have lots of backlinks to them.

      Exactly what I'm trying to say
