Can subdomains get high PageRank?

If I got a subdomain and free host from a host-for-posts forum, can I appear in the second place in google for a keyword that has around 24000 searches each month with very good SEO? Can I also get a high PageRank?

 

Ahh what is DigitalPoint forums and how does it rank?

 

And what about .blogspot sites? or .typepad ? They all rank very well.

I am not sure, but think it also depends on the weight of the main domain. But if you promote right, you'll achieve good results with sub domain - that's for sure,

 

I think if you got potential and got good skill you should not use free hosting and free sub domain, spend some money and get good host and good domain.

 

I think subdomains are counted as different websites, so you should be able to get a good rank.

 

why not. look at yahoo's sub domains..

 

Of course they can.
Every google subdomain has a very high PR.
Not to mention other examples.

 

Any domain can get good PR as long as it has links pointing to it.

 

Absolutely. Think of all the sites that use subdomains: About.com, Google, Yahoo, etc.

 

Yes it might, if subpages may get high PR, so does subdomains

 

as long it has good content,, updated regularly and have many backlinks,, sure it can top in search engines..

 

if you are asking about free hosts, i think it is possible...I run a blog at my site in a sub domain, but it has a rank...nuthing gr8 though...it has a rank! but i would definitely suggest that you go with a domain if you want proper long term results...since free hosts are not very dependable for all you know.

 

yes, they can have good page rank because subdomains are completely new domains in the eye of google
