Many of my friends told me that we can rank any keyword using guest posting. If we guest post on various high pr blogs, will it help me to rank my site quicker?
can we rank any keyword using guest posting on high pr blogs?

Not ANY keyword, but yes you can rank for most keywords by doing some guest blogging on high authority sites. Just as long as you don't leave an obvious footprint like having a link to your website on the author bio box for instance. To avoid that then simply make sure your links are within the article.
It will also depend on the type of competition that is already ranking for that particular keyword, so you might want to do some research on your competition first to figure out if it's worth your time or money to use guest blogging in order to outrank them.
Hope that helps.

Your post was really helpful. One more question I am having, is there any online tool available in order to research for keyword competitiveness? So that I could get an idea that the keyword I am trying to rank is of low competition or high?

Check out SEQuake and MozBar. You can use tools such moz, majestic and ahrefs to check out your competitor's Link Profile.

Great reply Nytshade! You are a helpful mod. Can you please tell me a name of a backlink checker (I don't like ahrefs or backlinkwatch so please recommend me something else!) so I can check my competitors backlinks?

If one use guest posting from a credible website and if the website is niche relevant then there are good chances for the website to rank for higher in SERPs for specific keywords.

It honestly depends on the keyword you are trying to rank. You can't just expect your site to rank just by posting on different blogs. You will need a mixture of guest posts, social signals, recommendations etc. Gone are the days when one could rank his site on the fly by posting links just about anywhere.
