update : Google has set all the pageranks to n/A or zero,http://www.earn-online-money.com/seo/google-page-rank-pr-reset-to-0-for-every-websiteBacklink has become a business, higher ranked sites for a keyword are earning by linking lower ranked sites.

Thanks for the input Jay, but the pagerank displayed to users has nothing to do with the internal pagerank mechanisms through which Google chooses where to place each site - therefore the PR value you're talking about here doesn't relate to this question. The only use of pagerank has been to sell websites, and it's terrible metric.Just so you know, selling backlinks is against google terms of service and will have you deranked if discovered. This isn't a game to find the latest Google 'tricks'.

I think you're question needs clarifying here - are you trying to optimize your own website to get the most incoming search hits with users to your site - or are you trying to get google to give you better search results for you own searches?

Sorry, but trying to break down the google algorithm is a fools game. SEO needs to be done naturally nowadays for it to be effective - the use of tricks is certain to get you banned. Good quality content needs no false pretenses.

How to Improve Internet Searcheshttp://liambean.hubpages.com/hub/Better-Internet-SearchesMaximum resulthttp://www.maxsearchengine.com/Maximum-Search.htmi think no matter what that number says, if you actually tried to click through all the listings, you'll reach the end at 1,000. Google actually only returns the first 1,000 results

Hubpages still around? Didn't get they get almost all their traffic lost because Google considers them mostly BS? I know I certainly blocked them from all my search results with the blacklist chrome extension.
