Find Page Rank of Every Page of Your Site
With so much talk about page rank in the past few weeks, I read a lot of articles, as I am sure all of you did too. I also read a lot of people mentioning different page ranks for their internal pages and wondered what my site’s individual pages ranked at.
So a couple of minutes of search on Google, [did I mention I LOVE Google because these guys rock?] I was taken straight to the article “Find Pagerank for Internal Pages of your site” [note the power of correct headline]. Jon Lee, the author of this article and blog, provides a link to a site named LivePR which not only provides page rank of your site’s individual pages, it also sorts them for you!
BTW, I found Jon’s site very interesting and have subscribed! Another add to my ever growing google reader! which needs a thorough cleaning soon and I will be thinking of Meg’s letter to her subscribers and her criteria for dropping some feeds, ‘coz I find it intimidating to see 1000+ new items every time I open it!
Back to individual page rank calculations! This is how my pages are ranked and although I didn’t get a PR5, I am pleased to see a lot of PR3s and a couple of 4s in the mix…
Why would you need to know the PR of individual pages? Well, read Jon’s article and then don’t forget Kumiko’s article that talks about a bit more on how people are using this number!
[I thought of providing links to these articles, 'coz its running over the format and is really not useful, so Im working on the links right now]

So, if you use this tool, let us know how your pages did…..
Now I am off to voting some of my state’s incumbents off, since its election day here ;)
I’ve said this many times, and I’m going to say it again:
GOOGLE PAGE RANK IS OVER-RATED!
LOL.
Oh, BTW, how did the election go? Did the party you voted for win it?
Well, this certainly is an interesting little tool. Of course, I had to try it out and I’m in wonder at why some pages were ranked the way they were.
Thanks for the tool, but I get only /feed/…. pages with PR0. Whereas my site has a PR of 1, so there should be at least some pages with a PR1.
Strange …
Yep, something is definitely wrong, when I look at the PR coming from the datacenters, they all give me a 1/10.
In the classroom this would be a very bad number, but for my 1 month old blog, it is a reason to rejoice :-)
That’s a nifty tool. I’m going to try it :)
hey Pelf… I know and I agree with you BUT believe me, we are all still going to be happier getting a better PR :) and the advertisers will continue to look at this number until something else is invented by either Google or someone providing better traffic/search than them :)
and in the end, its a good educational experience for me, I think!
Oh, the voting is still on, we wont know the results until late tonite AND they are all bad, no matter who I vote for …. :)
teeni: I am not cognizant of this but may be it gives different results with or without HTTP ? try both ways….
oh, it IS Olivier :) Its outstanding to get a PR of even 1 after merely a month :) Like any other web tools, I am not sure how accurate this one is, but it sure was interesting to see which of my pages got higher PR… I have to say that the results surprised me….
Some of the other posts that are more popular didn’t even have a PR… like few of my most commented posts are also the most popular, still but the top most post doesn’t get a PR? so I am not sure what determines this strange measurement!
I don’t put much weight in PageRank, but I do like to see where I stand. My highest ranked pages were blog posts that got dugg and stumbled and have a lot of inbound links. Some of them are PR 6 while my blog front page is PR 5 and website homepage is only 4.
Hi Pearl
That is such a cool tool – thanks! I have 2 x PR5 (including the home page), 7 x PR4, 41 x PR3 and the rest a mixture of 2,1 & 0.
Thanks for the mention too :)
haha Meg, is that you?? :D Are you taking over my identity right on my blog? :lol:
you are welcome… your letter is really amusing!
:oops: sorry! Yes it’s me :D
no no , don’t be sorry :) actually I wouldn’t have a problem being Meg for a day – I’m sure I’d love that fan fare :D
hey Steven .. thats awesome to have some pages with PR6.. I also like to just know where I stand… Its funny, I never knew your internal pages could rate higher than the home page….
oh I’ll have to try this out….Pearl…
happy voting….ours is on the 24th of this month and I hope there will be big big changes to our political air over here ….
Great tool. I had no idea what my page was ranked and now I do. So apparently my blog landing home page is a PR 5. Most of my posts are 0 to 2. I wonder if the fact that I changed the name and the URL back at the end of September affects the rank.
I couldn’t find the top post of all time on my blog listed on this list or maybe it says it’s a 0 despite it being viewed thousands and thousands of times!
Hey Kim….. we are looking for some changes in the political system here too… but then, don’t they all turn out to be the same once in office?
And the funny thing is that politicians are probably the same in every corner of the world :)
Simonne: sorry – your comment got trapped in Akismet, I don’t understand that beast at all! let us know how your pages do…
Wow Aruni…. PR5 is awesome… I don’t understand how their algorithm works in ranking pages yet either, my most viewed post isn’t rated either! but its an interesting tool :)
Hi Pearl – So what does a PR5 rank mean? Is there an article online that explains what page rank means and why it’s important?
sent you a couple of articles on it Aruni…
Hey Pearl,
I was looking for such a tool for some time now. Thanks for posting about it, it’s time to try it :)
you are welcome Shankar :) come back and let us know …
It was really cool Pearl, very fast actually.
Hi, ow. It’s been a long time I haven’t comment here! :D
I have tried the tool and it’s helpful. Especially when you want to sell an advertisement on each different page (with no follow tag).
Very nice tool. My site did not fair too well on the recent PR update, but it does not matter as it did not have any effect on the traffic.
[...] doing my post on The Google Trap, I happened upon Pearl’s post at Interesting Observations on Find Page Rank of Every Page of Your Site. She found a link to a site called Live PR where you can enter your URL and it tells you the page [...]
This seems like a good way to check internal pages for PR, but I usually just check them manually since I have the toolbar installed. My PR didn’t hit 5 like you, but I got a couple 4’s and 3’s in the mix. Best of luck to both of us next update
Hi David…. again, as we all agree, its the not the ONLY thing that a blog’s success depends upon :)
Welcome! You’ve got a nifty site there, subscribed ‘coz I like to know what the other side thinks like ;) hope to see you around here more often…
Hi Dan… my site is not a 5 yet :) its a 4 :)
yes, thanks, will have to fare better next time… hopefully, if PR is still around :)
thanks for stopping by to comment! tc and kit
Ken… I am glad you are feeling better now :) now now, you really do NOT want to sell any text links… repeat DO NOT SELL TEXT LINKS ON YOUR BLOG :D
Hey Pearl,
Thanks for taking the time look at my site. New articles should be up on my site within 3 weeks time, after moving to a bigger place, sorting out the internet connection etc. Also I am looking into using feed burner so people could subscribe to the rss by email!
Thats interesting! How have you been?
Kewl tool Pearl, thanks, I’ll check it out.
Congrats on fairing so well with so many pages :-)
Hey Pearl – you should go check! It’s showing PR10’s – grab a screen shot while you can ;)
WOW… here I go :)
okay somethings messed up with all things technical today Meg :) look at your comment and mine above yours… I was replying to your message but how the heck its showing above yours???? LOL so much for technology!
Bizarre! You could edit the time stamp on your comments (or mine) if you could be bothered ;)
guess what, I just realized that I was in the middle of fixing this blog’s time stamp while you were writing your comment! It was always set to the default – UTC time but now it is Boston, US time, so you being ahead of us, your first comment was at 1:25am of November 13th, your time, but your 2nd comment is my time! and it appears comments show up in chronological order of time/date…
I’ll let it remain like this for some time and would be interested in watching how time zone affects comments :) it is bizarre but it’ll be fun to watch……
PR fluctates every few months on my site. i really cant be bothered to keep track. unique visitors is much more important
