PR 0 Site Outranks a PR 4 Site

Here`s a extremely little but highly effective method for doing this.
Easy: Name pages on your site (the title) after specific search words you want or if you have high competition, pick the lesser used search words.
Example: (a colleague`s site):
Google for "Electos" and see if you can find "Redeemed Hosting" (it takes a bit).
Now, Google for "Electos Tools" and bingo! It`s the name of a page of his.
He has a PR of zero. and... outranks the manufacturer of the product here.
Here`s how I discovered it:
I had a page on my site named "Free Visual DataFlex" and until the manufacturer discovered this I came up first over 80,000 sites offering Visual DataFlex related sites. Now, I come up third or so. "Applause Software". (I have a PR of 3 btw).
It`s just a short bit of advice, but I hope it will help someone!

Sorry about the miscommunication.
Will double check before posting again, but he comes up first with the new page name!

Applause.
Electos (at least the one referred to) is a dynamic content website publishing tool that`s new and has very little market share (very).
Do you get the same results as I do anyways? a PR 0 takes the top listing?
Applause
However, it also means nobody`s going to search for that phrase...
Does it make sense to win a battle nobody care about?
Also.. remember the PR you see is NOT real time. It is only the value as of the last time it was updated. It can be months between PR updates. So a site that shows PR0 may in fact be PR4 (in real time).

Applause.Google Page Rank is not meant to be used as a measuring stick for how good/bad a website is. It is designed for entertainment purposes only!
A PageRank of 0 does not generally mean a punishment. Now and again, sites which crease to be punished basically need inbound connections with an adequately high PageRank. However, in the event that pages of a site which have earlier been set well in indexed lists, all of a sudden demonstrate the feared white PageRank bar, and if there have not been any generous changes in regards to the inbound connections of that site, this implies - as per the overall sentiment - absolutely a punishment by Google.
