How can I find the pages on my site with the highest page rank?
-
I have a lot pages on my site and I'm wondering if there is a tool out there that will find all the pages with the highest pagerank for me?
Also, it would be helpful to find that on competitors sites as well. Any ideas?
-
I found the tool I was looking for thanks to this great post by davidzimm.

The easiest way to find this (for me anyways) is using Blekko and then adding a space and /sitepages after the URL.

Hi Shawn,
For most sites, the home page has the highest PR. When inner pages have higher PR, it's usually due to either a specific campaign being targeted on the page. Another reason would be if a particular page received a lot of publicity. Let's say you have an average SEO site and then provide a page on an interview you performed with Matt Cutts. You would likely earn hundreds of links to the interview page which may cause it's PR to exceed the home page.
In short, if any page has a higher PR then the home page you should intuitively know it. Even so, PR is something which is hardly used in modern day SEO. Google updates PR internally very frequently. Toolbar PR, which is the PR you can see, is only updated once every 3-4 months. The primary use of toolbar PR is to detect penalties and other manipulative efforts. If you are using PR for other decision making, you are likely not making good decisions.

Haven't used one specifically, but im sure if you search for "multiple pagerank checker tool" you can find what you are looking for.

No, you can not.do that with SEOmoz bar.

Specifically I'm looking for a tool where I can just plug in a URL and have it spit out a list of pages on that URL that have the highest pagerank. I don't think I can do that with the SEOmoz toolbar can I?

Hi Shawn
You can use SEOmoz toolbar and then check the PR of pages with the highest Page Authority. PA will give you a better idea of the page's authority than PR anyway.
I'm not sure if there is a tool that will let you do this in bulk tho.

How can I track relevant websites my visitors are viewing?
I'm wanting to build a in-depth profile for my company's typical site visitor and I was wondering if there is anyway to view other websites that visitors are searching for online to get an idea of their hobbies/interests and how they spend their free time. I'm not sure if I'm asking the right questions in Google because the results are very broad and are more about reading analytics for your own company. Can anyone point me to a website or software that allows for this sort of thing?

Why has my authority article gone from P1 to below the top 50? Along with the rest of my site...
My site has run into some serious and unexplained SEO issues over the last 6 months, i.e: I wrote the content at http://www.flatroofs.co.uk/flat-roof-insulation/ about 3-4 years ago, and ever since it's competed for position with the huge PLC websites and hovered around the top 3 spots in google.co.uk. However, since May this year things have declined rapidly and now isn't even in the top 50 for [flat roof insulation]! Why?? I am aware that this content has been pretty heavily plagiarised since day 1, with some other sites making the effort the 'rehash' my wording and others just blatantly copying. At the same time it's also been relatively well linked to (for a very boring subject) since day 1. Over the same period (since May) the site has suffered a huge decline in traffic and rankings, as can be seen here http://www.flatroofs.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Capture.png, but I find the huge drop harder to justify for a relevant article than for the homepage/site in general. What strikes me about the above is the two step changes in traffic volume; one in early June and the other in late October. I am vaguely aware of the penguin update etc, but it seems to me like I've been manually banished somehow? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Ranking better with worse figures
Six months ago a competitor e-commerce site appeared in the top 10. Now six months later he is at #2. (for the main keyword in my sector in Dutch language, competition +4 million) My site is 4 years old and since three years ranks at #1 or 2. I'm now at #3, behind the competitors site. My competitor has a HomePage PA of 36 with 2295 links from 26 domains, root domain DA 23 with 175000 links from 30 domains. My site has a HomePage PA of 49 with 6975 links froms 238 domains, root domain DA 40 with 310023 links from 269 domains. I have more specific landing pages, better and more content, code W3C checked .... Can somebody explain why a younger site with worse figures gets a better position in Google ranking?

What is a reasonable time frame to get to the 1st page
If my site is not in the first 50 results and the keywords are medium to highly competitive? I have just started adding to directories, planning out a blog, fixing seo mistakes, updating sitemaps etc. The 1st ranking competitor has external links in the tens of thousands whereas I have maybe a few hundred. I see a light at the end of the tunnel as competing sites in between me and the 1st place ranking competitor have external links only in the 1000-2000 level. We are an ecommerce site and want to be ready for our high season which is Nov-Jan.

Page quantity vs no crawl errors.
Which one is better: Have a ton of pages but accept crawl errors or; Have a lot less pages with no crawl errors. Let's say I have a product catalogue with 10 regular pages and 500 product pages (same page with content and title defined by url parameter like 'id'). It seems that even with a different product name, product description, price, color etc, I get dupplicate content crawl errors. I also know I could use a link tag with cannonical rel attribute to fix the crawl errors but I would lose indexing on 499 pages. In this case is it better SEO wise to have: 510 pages with 499 dupplicate content crawl errors or; 11 pages with 0 crawl errors?

Any chance to out rank Google flight data for company name?
If you search any number with "co" after it you get Continental Airlines flight information of the corresponding number. So you if you search "4co" you get the current flight details for Continental flight 4. Is there any chance if you have a company called 4CO and you own 4co.com that you could get the number one spot for that term or will google flight results always trump the "organic" results? Thanks!
