whey does amazon/walmart/ebay show as PR0

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

You should see at main domain, not the inner pages.
If you see at main and still show PR0, you may try other tools to confirm again.

  Why should he look at the main domain?
  
  Its the inner page that is ranking when he does the search so that is the relevant page and competition data that the tool fetches.
  
  So what if amazon's domain is pr7 or whatever...its not the homepage that is ranking when people search for products etc so what you said above is pretty irrelevant.
  
  Thanks

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

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:

Thanks

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.

It would be OK as long as terms like "the cheapest sonic tunnlers" or "top sonic tunnler review" had low PR results.

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.
