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.

Site Ranking for keywords that they haven't targeted in content
There is a site that I am constantly battling for the #1 spot for a particular keyword and I can't see that they are doing any link building, they are not using any anchor text for the keyword "at all" just their company name (not exact match) and their content doesn't even contain the keyword. I used Open site explorer to analyze their activity, but they are doing something I can't figure out from that data. Any other tools to use? I have higher quality links than them, post content nearly 5 times per week to my blog and their blog hasn't been updated in ages, I kill them in social media, there isn't one instance that they are better than my site and I only build quality driven links, no blog comment crap and get featured on lots of industry blogs for our work. I distribute my content very effectively, I just can't figure it out. They were no where about 5 months ago now they are tearing it up for lots of keywords in the industry top spots. I can build a few links and surpass them, but I have to do it every week or so and I think they are doing something fishy. I just want to figure out what they are doing and bury them. I don't want to post their url and mine here as I don't want them to see this post in search results.

Localized SERP Rankings - Multiple Questions...
The Google SERPs for my keywords are pretty regional. We are in the "IT Support Company" space. I've checked with friends in other parts of the country, and we don't show up in the SERPs in other parts of the country for KWs that we are ranking for locally. Questions: 1. I see both national and local players showing up in the SERPs. Is there any kind of formula for how Google decides who gets on the first page? 2. Some of my keywords trigger Google+ listings. How long does it take to show up in Google+, assuming we're optimized appropriately, and we have earned a placement? 3. For Moz's keyword ranking tool, how does it handle regional searches? Moz's tool is going to show different KW rankings than what I will see. My immediate concerns are rankings in my area (NY Metro), but we want to go national. How do we track rankings in different areas? 4. Is it possible to be on the 1st page with Google+ and Organic listings? 5. Do the Google+ 7 packs have generally better, or worse CTRs than similarly placed organic listings?

What tools can give reliable competitor traffic data?
Could you give details of reliable tools that can measure and provide competitors' traffic data? Google Adplanner used to provide such information until June of last year, and while it's numbers didn't match Google Analytics data, the numbers were reasonably close. The metrics we are most interested in are visits, page views and unique visitors. We have looked at sites such as Compete -- but feel it is far too inaccurate/ skewed with US data only; also, would prefer to not rely on Alexa traffic stats. Thanks in advance.

Best Way to Consolidate Domains/Rankings After Purchase of Competitor
One of my customers is buying a competitor. The competitor has a site that usually ranks just 1-2 spots below the main site that we manage for them (our site has been up for about a year, and their's is 15-years old). I am wondering what is the best way to consolidate the rankings/websites to take advantage of the purchase of the competitor's web assets. I would love to leave both sites up and just get 2 top-25 links to our products, but with no more marketing being done under the competitor's name, I assume their rankings will degrade. Would a basic 301 re-direct on a page-by-page basis be enough to 'steal' all of the juice their domain name/site has built? Is there some other method of using an older domain to boost the rankings of a newer one (I am assuming they only rank as well as we do because of how long they've been active - all of our metrics are better than theirs across the board). Thanks for any help/advice the community here can provide!
