I have been researching keywords in Google to find out what my competitors are doing to get listed in the top 10. I have found that many of the pages listed in the top 10 for many of the keywords I researched have no page ranking at all. My pages have a 0/10 page ranking but don't show up at all. Is 0/10 better, the same or worse than no page ranking?
Also, how can I find out how many incoming links my competitors have? Can I find out who is linking to them as well? |

Go to http://www.linkpopularitycheck.com
It's interesting to see who's linked to your competition and to see how they links came about. Check with the link above and you'll start to see trends. In many cases you can use this to your advantage. In my profession there's been some very well crafted and well thought out plans to build links. For instance, many of the links coming into sites for my competition were specifically built by the competition. At the bottom of all of these sites you'll see a logo...'built by' or 'powered by'. I'm assuming that the sites were built for free merely to build a series of links. Link farms? Sort of but I don't think search engines are going to see through the fact that each of these links is a uniquely designed site and within the same 'subject'.

A PR=0 is not necessarily a 0 - it is less then 1. PR is on a log scale - if you only have one link that Google knows about and you have no penalty, your PR is >0. Also note that the publically available PR on the toolbar is only updated periodically, so for some sites what you see may be meaningless (Google takes links into account internally, before they are publically availale via the toolbar)
Oman is right - Link Pop's tool gives you the back links from several engines --> gives a better picture. If you competitors are PR 0, they should be easy to beat. Just match there keyword density, location and prominence and get more some links (preferabbly with the keyword in teh anchor text) to get your PR up --> you beat them. CBP |

Don't be mistaken.
Pagerank has very little, if any - to do with how well your site comes up in search engine positioning. It's quite easy and most common for 0 pr or lower pr sites to come up higher in search listings than higher pr sites. |

The only worry I have about this is I somehow managed to sign up to receive their emails twice (for the same three sites versus me) - these emails don't arrive on the same day but when they do come the results are different - leaving me to wonder which ones to believe or if I should believe either. Anyone else have any experience with this service?

The PR0 pages that you're seeing at the top of the SERPS might be new, in which case no PR will show up on the toolbar until Google does the next update.
As cbp has already stated, most pages with a toolbar PR of 0 actually have a small amount of PR. PageRank has little to do with how well a page ranks for a given search term. On-page factors and inbound links with good anchor text count for a lot more, even if the pages doing the linking are PR1 (or even less).

Product-relevant links should deep-link directly to the appropriate page IMO.
