I have a site that for a keyword that returns 2060 results is just at the top of the 2nd page of results and it has a PR of 0. Is this possible?

This tends to happen because the listed URL is different from the URL you're checking (often due to a redirect), of because it's a Fresh listing for a new URL, based on a backlink that does not count for PageRank yet.

Yep. There are many factors, including how much competition you have or don't have for your keyword. PageRank is, first of all a measurement of the number and quality of the links to you. You can be very low page rank but if you don't have much competition for that keyword you will be higher.

Are you satisfied with the second page? The numbers of searchers selecting results drop precipitously after the first and second position.

I have a link from Yahoo's directory, about mid-September it got listed. And the PR is 0, does this seem suspicious?

With 2060 results I wouldn't say it's particularly suspicious.

How many results returned with "allintitle:" or "allinanchor:"?
