Find Page Rank of Every Page of Your Site

pearl 39

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]

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?

teeni

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.

Simonne

That’s a nifty tool. I’m going to try it :)

olivier

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 …

olivier

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 :-)

pearl

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 …. :)

pearl

teeni: I am not cognizant of this but may be it gives different results with or without HTTP ? try both ways….

pearl

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 :)
